How I Got It: Purchased

Honestly, this was a little bit of a let down. The first book was a lot to live up to and I just finished a bunch of books I really loved. It was still really good and I want to see what happens to Evie and the other characters.

I do still like Evie and think she’s an interesting character, but she was also my biggest issue. She was way too trusting to people-all people. I just don’t understand why she didn’t think through anything. She also did whole “I’m going to ruin my relationship by not talking.” I have not been shy about my dislike of this plot device.

But I did enjoy the plot overall and it was pretty fast-paced. And I like Lend even more, because he’s awesome. And I realized that there really isn’t a big bad in this book/series. It’s refreshing that Ms. White isn’t following all of the standards for a YA trilogy. There are larger plot points and character development, but it’s not about destroying one particular villain.

On to the next book.

Thanks for reading!

How I Got It: Gift

This was a happy surprise and wasn’t what I expected. Mostly, I was surprised by how funny it and Evie were. She actually reminds me a lot of Kenzie from the TV show Lost Girl.

Initially, it took a while to get into Evie’s head. She’s kind of an acquired taste. But I find her hilarious and a breath of fresh air. And she’s very bitter, but she constantly tries to see the best in people.

And the romance is freaking adorable. It’s so cute and like a little contemporary story in a paranormal. Lend is a very nice guy and I like seeing them interact with each other.

What’s really weird is that I equally want to continue the series and am afraid to. I’m very happy with how it ended and based on this book Ms. White isn’t afraid to break my heart. But I will finish the series. Hopefully my heart can handle it.

Thanks for reading!
