**I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**I had a hard time deciding how to rate this book. When I started reading it I was mesmerized. I couldn't put it down, I was sucked in the story and completely oblivious to the outside world, but after the first half of book the story wasn't that great anymore. I was really sad, because I thought this would be on my favorites shelf.It had a lot of potential, but a lot of things bothered me in the second part of the book.1. Love triangle. They are always tricky and I'm usually not a big fan, but I felt weird reading about Naomi-Kai-Puck triangle. I still don't get why she fell for Kai, I didn't find it believable at all. On the other hand, her relationship with Puck was really well developed and I enjoyed reading about it. Why did she have to pick the wrong guy? Ugh...2. Paranormal elements. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been normal books about girl trapped in a dark cult, because her parents were crazy. Well, lets say I had a mixed feeling about it.3. Character development. We saw how Naomi transformed from shy and insecure girl into more confident one. It happened too quickly to feel real for me.4. Roses. One thing I loved the most about this book. Every chapter started with Naomi's thought about them and I loved it!!! It was like roses were a character in the book. Really well done! That was a big plus from me :)5. Main character. I loved Naomi, her character was really easy to connect to. That is a crucial thing for me. I always DNF books if the narrator or MC is annoying.6. Supporting characters. My favorite was Ruth although she played only a small part in the book.7. Kisses. Loved them all! Especially the ones including Puck *wink*8. Main willian. When we finally discovered the identity of the Master Destroyer I wasn't impressed. Surprised, yes, but my reaction was pretty mild and that wasn't a good sign.To sum up: at the end I decided to give this book three stars, it was a good read, I'm sorry it wasn't better for me, it started great, I was hooked immediately, but at the end it failed to impressed me.
