While I did enjoy Breathless, it wasn't the best read ever. It seemed interesting, and normally I'd sample it but since it's only .99 cents I bought it. I enjoy books with more dialouge, rather than paragraphs of what's going on and describing a person.A mysterious boy shows up at school one day, and is immediately smitten with Lia. As is, Lia with the mysterious boy. I found it uneasy. He kept popping up being mysterious. In my opinion, a little TOO mysterious. It seemed creepy. If I would have been Lia, I would have felt uneasy about him even if he was beautiful.You knew he was something different, because every time he entered the room Lia felt a chill. I think what the book had going for itself was the fact that nothing was revealed too soon. It left me wanting. I wanted to know what Chaseyn was. And even at one point, I thought maybe he was just a normal guy. You do eventually learn what the cruse is about, and it's quite interesting.One thing I found refreshing was her fear of him. It seems every book the damsel is totally inlove and doesn't care what supernatural being he is. Lia was afraid of Chaseyn when she came to realize what he is. She always loved him, but for a moment or so..she feared him.While it's not one of my favorite books I've read, it's well written, and an interesting story. I will most likely read the next book, if I remember. I'm also one who has to know how it ends.One thing that rubbed me the wrong way, was the words used. It's being told from a teenagers point of view. Some of the words I felt were out of place...calling her bracelet a token. I don't know any teen who would describe a gift as a token.There was also a slight mistake. It seems you don't learn his name until he gives her a note, but she refers to his jacket as Chaseyn's jacket before the note was given to her. Nothing major.
