My Book Fairy Review
This is a story that could be considered a paranormal
romance, but it’s so much more than that. The story starts out with a young
woman, Caitlin, headed to college and introduces you to her and her four “roommates”,
getting right into the feel of starting out in a new place in college and the
different types of people you will meet. I immediately liked Caitlin and could
understand her situation and the feelings she had of being in a new place, both
excitement and intimidation. A new place, new people and an unsure environment
and the last thing she’s worried about is a boyfriend or falling in love, even
though it seems that people are looking all around and yet she bumps into
Steven, a “tall, dark, handsome and athletic” guy you expect to be another
womanizer and yet he’s not. Steven is a complex character and he’s sincerely
intrigued by Caitlin. You spend the first half or so of the story learning
about Caitlin and Steven and watching their relationship develop. Then there is
an unexpected turn of events, which sets the baseline for the remainder of the
story. You see Steven taken away from everyone he knows and everyone he loves,
no one knows who he is, or that he exists. You come to learn about the next
evolution in humankind and their trials and tribulations, their wants and needs
and the story leaves you wanting for more. All of the main and supporting
characters are well built with complex personalities which brings the story to
life. You can feel the pain they feel and understand their feelings from
excitement, fear, love and lust to sorrow and uncertainty about the future. I
couldn't put this book down and read from the start to about 63% in before I
stopped and by the time I was about 80% done I knew I’d be buying the remaining
two in the trilogy.
My Book Fairy Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because aside from a single sentence which didn't seem grammatically correct, the story was nearly flawless. The characters and story had me enchanted from day one and the plot unfolded at just the right pace. This isn’t your typical paranormal or vampire story, but it will keep you on your toes and isn't full of “fluff”, but has a lot of deeper issues going on in the sidelines along with the main plot. When I found out this was the authors debut novel I couldn't believe it. I can’t wait to see what else Vanessa writes in the remainder of this trilogy and beyond. I've already borrowed the trilogy on the Kindle so I can decide if I want to buy them all in the Kindle edition or in a physical book.
