First off I have to say. READ THIS BOOK FIRST!!! I made the mistake of reading "Shadows" first, as it was placed this way in the Author's reading order but I'm so disappointed!
This entire book is based on the mystery that you don't really know what's going on.. You don't know who or what anyone is and it leaves so much room for excitement and confusion. It's like the book slowly opens up to you.
You know as little as the protagonist Katy and it makes the book special in a way. Because now I just got a little bit annoyed at the fact that she just simply couldn't get it..
Reading order put aside, I love how Katy has a blog about book reviews. It somehow made me connect to her in a way no other book ever has. I could find myself in her character.
The book kept me hooked from page to page and I enjoyed the story.
Armentrout has this way of making a so obvious book become so suprising at times. There were moments I thought.. Do I really want to be reading another one of those books? You know the typical bad boy-nerdy gril relation.. He's a douche, she's way too nice.
But she made it so full of plot twists that this basic primal story line just pales in the light of further events. Plus the fact that she is strong enough to be a douche back to him and not just goes running like a sad, sad girl.
I think this book is certainly worth a read and I really did enjoy it.. But I have to be honest. This is a style you like, or you don't. I don't think there's a grey here. Black or white. After spending a long time considering reading this and reading a lot of bad reviews on "Goodreads". I had decided to read it anyway and I'm glad I did.
Price wise, again I went with the Ebook and I have to say it wasn't expensive for a 340page book (depending on which platform you read it).
I would say 8/10 and a wicked appetite for more.
