Here is yet another paranormal teen romance, I can’t seem to get enough of them. Most I find, fall short, this one, I really enjoyed. I loved the way it was written. The main character got a bit swoony, but Despain managed to not let the romance completely take over. I appreciate that. Life doesn’t stop once you fall in love. And I’d like to think that teenage girls are capable of thinking of more than just the new boy in their life. Although I was reading journal entries I wrote when I was 16 the other day… made me wonder.
Anyway, we start the story with a mystery, and the mystery is slowly revealed through flashbacks and action. There’s enough mystery in the writing to keep you wondering and enough action to keep the tension high. My heart really got going there for a bit. The teenagers were believably written and I liked the main character in this one. And the love interest, yes, I may have fallen in love with him a little as well. In my opinion this one was a great read.
