Review: Intriguing but forgetful
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 3, 2012
I found this story line to be intriguing, yet forgetful. This is a great summer beach read, and does not require a lot of brain cells to follow the story or the plot that is highly predictable. I honestly like to be surprised in the books I read every now and then, and there were moments like those in this book but they were few and far between. It is age appropriate for young adults, although there are a handful of almost love making scenes so on family friendliness it gets a 4 out of 5. I probably would not let a tween or younger read this one, but it is good for older ages. Bryn finds herself among the immortals with whom her values do not quite align. The leader is kind of creepy and has set plans for Bryn's future that she is not all to pleased with. The one shining light in the midst of all this dark is William. Together they escape on a short mission from the house, and get to spend some quality time together. Well, that is until it is interrupted by William's family who spills William's secret to Bryn. When they return to the house, Bryn is not sure what she wants for her future, but then she is forced by fate to make her decision. The pace of this book is rather slow throughout with little suspense, until you get to the 3/4ths mark and then it picks up considerably and rushes to the end. The last half of it was hard to put down, but the first half was not extremely engaging or a page turner. There were also several grammatical and spelling mistakes littered throughout this novel, which was annoying. Underneath all of that though it had a solid story.For more book reviews visit [...]
