Review: Original, imaginative, and sexy, with an amazing paranormal aspect and a gut-wrenching twist at the end.

Sweet Zombie Bob, this is one of the best books I've read all year.Callie is a cool chick. She is a badass from the very beginning, at 8-years-old.Hunter and Ryan both have some typical "stupid boy" moments, but they both love Callie, and they are both good guys.And they're in a rock band. A good one.The book shows three main different aspects of their lives: when Callie meets the boys at 8-years-old, right before Callie runs into the storm as a teen, and when Callie returns home at 24 (I think). Through each period, the characters maintain their unique personalities, while still maturing at the proper rate. It doesn't jump around, either - the story is linear, which was so much better than flashbacks. The consistency was fabulous.This story is told mostly from Callie's POV, but there are a fair amount of chapters from Hunter's POV. I kept wondering why Ryan's POV was omitted, but that was revealed at the end.I seriously hate how the love triangle was resolved, but I understand why she wrote it that way. Still, I think that all the main characters got gypped at the end, and I was not terribly happy about it…until the very last scene. The last scene is what won this book 5 stars from me. Even with the awesome epilogue, Callie's soul mate deserved way better than he got. My heart broke for him.I loved the paranormal aspect.Beware: you will have a book-hangover after this one. Having a rebound book at the ready is highly recommended.
