Much more gritty then I thought it would be, but over all a great read. Full review coming soon.
This was a fun book. I loved the snappy dialogue and enjoyed the interplay between the characters. It felt like a real family. More detailed review coming soon!
Why WHY did I think this was a trilogy? Damn you cliff hangers.....
So so so good. I don't usually turn into a crazed fan girl during reviews but I don't think I can help myself. Daemon *sigh* is very swoon worthy and Katy *fist pumps* just rocks. So for me this book was all about the fantastic writing and realistic character development. Just flawless. Also the dialog between Daemon and Katy sizzled. There was not a single wasted word and the plot moved at a breakneck speed. Katy was a wonderful heroine. Well rounded and totally believable. Her reactions to the extreme situations she finds herself in are funny and spot on. She does not whine, ring her hands or want to be saved. She is not the doormat or damsel in distress that seems to be so popular in YA right now.
Daemon is a smart, sexy hero. He is also a jack ass to the heroine in an attempt to protect his family secrets. While this would normally annoy me, the fact that Katy the heroine calls him on it works for me. This leads to some of the funniest and at times sexiest dialog I have read in ages and makes the book fun.
Sexy alien hero + book nerd heroine = a snarky, smart, fun, thrilling read that I devoured and had me running for book 2.
A well deserved 5 out of 5 stars.
Interesting premise, strong characters and an excellent buildup of tension and conflict. I enjoyed how author Shawntelle Madison focused on developing the heroine and getting her to a place where she had a more balanced dynamic with the hero. My only nitpick, and its a small one, is that I was expecting more romance development throughout the story. After realizing the full extent of the demons the heroine was struggling with I understood why. I can not wait to get my hands on book two and see how the romance progresses.
