My Review:
I had heard a lot about this book from other bloggers and got really interested so when J. Meyers asked me to review it for her I jumped at the chance. This book had me intrigued from the beginning, and it was definitely one of those books that I did not stop reading for anything.
Right from the beginning you can tell that this book will be intense and keep you guessing. Meyers opens up the book with Lucas's vision of Sera being killed, so you're hooked wondering when everything is going to happen. Meyers has a way of keeping you invested in the characters and what they are going through. It's interesting to see how Luce and Sera keep their secret from everyone around them.
I absolutely loved all the characters that you meet in this story. There are so many different personalities throughout, that works so well for the story. Meyers did a great job with the sibling interaction between Luke and Sera. Reading about their relationship made me love this story so much more, Luke wants to do anything he can from stopping his vision from coming true, each of these characters are like a half of one person.
I was surprised at all the different elements of the supernatural world that Meyers adds in to the story. It is a little like Julie Kagawa's world in the Iron Fey series except different supernatural characters. The abilities these characters posses becomes so much more than I would have ever expected. This was a great book that was really quick (I was actually disappointed when it ended, I wanted more), and I love the supernatural aspect.
This is actually my first time seeing this book around and it looks awesome. The way it starts off intrigues and great characters bring me in every time.
ReplyDeleteI loved this book, too! And I loved all those side characters! I also was reminded of The Iron Fey series! Great review, Andrea!
