I’m not sure how to explain what I’m feeling at the moment without sounding like a young adult madly in love with a book, but I love everything about this! “Wraithsong”, book 1 of Desirable Creatures is an action-packed YA fantasy book laced with humor; it’s safe to say this is one of the best YA books this year. Characterization is very spot on, the plot itself is very interesting and I’d love to see it play on the big screen!Sonia is a kick-ass heroine who’s ready to accept her fate without acting like she needs to be saved. That’s what I like the most when it comes to YA books. Give me a captivating character to relate with instead of a bland, uninteresting one. Sonia is capable of controlling humans because she’s a ‘Huldra’, a supernatural being who deserve a book like this written for her (imagine if Sonia asked Ms. E.J. Squires to write this book for her because she’s capable of controlling humans, what a plot twist! Ha-ha!) Her connection with Anthony definitely caught my attention. The way their relationship unfolds later on in the book is very lovely; I ship them to be honest! The plot of the book’s what got me hooked though; I don’t know much about Norse mythology so while reading the book I’m like, ‘oh god what is going to happen..’. because there’s lot of unexpected twists! And I honestly love it for what it’s worth. Despite Maureen’s manipulation tactics; I like her. That’s what set her apart from other characters.I’d like to give a shoutout to Ms. E.J. Squires’ writing style because it is suitable for her intended audience. I’m excited to read the next installment in this series and her other works as well. All in all, it was such a great read!
