Logan Patricks' Semblance is a mesmerizing book that has you hooked from the very first sentence. His characters have such a depth to them that you feel a close connection to them. Shadow Tremaine is an enigma whose past is dark and filled with heartache. Aria Valencia too has suffered her fair share of pain. But what you love most about her is her can do spirit, the part of her that doesn’t give up, and her say-it-like-it-is attitude. For Shadow, this is a breath of fresh hair who usually has women throwing themselves at him. Aria shows him what life could be if he allowed himself to live. While Shadow seems like an arrogant young man, he really is kind and thoughtful. Despite his pain, he has the capacity for such love and compassion. He wants to make his own life, escape the Midnight Society, but his demons hold him fast and he refuses to let go of his past until it is set right.Just when you think Shadow and Aria have a chance, the tables turn and quickly everything spins out of control. A past demon wants the Midnight Society dead including Aria. Mr. Patricks keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. When it’s finally revealed who this individual is and the dust settles, Shadow and Aria are changed completely. Your heart breaks at the revelations and you just want to slap someone! All you want to do is curl up and sob. Thankfully, the second book isn’t far away so we can have the next installment of the Midnight Society. A gorgeous, hauntingly beautiful story that keeps you spellbound until the end.
