Wow!So I just finished Semblance and let me tell you...no review will do the book justice, none! Not even mine. This is the type of book you just have to go into blind.I'll admit I had skipped over Semblance before because the cover wasn't all that appealing. Yea yea, I am one of those. Anyways, one day on twitter I posted a status saying nothing was catching my interest. I had been starting a ton of books yet none of them were popping out making me want to read them. Despite them being books I needed to review...I still couldn't get into anything.So my author buddy, Jill Patten(author of Toxic Secrets) told me to try out Semblance. Again, this isn't a book I would choose because of the cover. But since she suggested it...I bought it anyways. I didn't read any reviews or even read the synopsis. I just went into the story blind.I can't tell you how grateful I am for being a book cover snob! I was immediately entranced into a world full of deceit, power, and secret societies. The writing is absolutely enchanting; each sentence is so full of emotion it makes me want to weep. Tears of joy, tears of sorrow, tears of anger. Ohh the anger!I had so much anger. But along with the anger, I had so much love for these perfectly flawed characters.Aria Valencia is a poor college student in the musical department. She's a stud on the piano. It's through her love and passion for the piano that's she's chosen by a women to play for a mysterious group.It sounds too good to be true. Being so poor with barely a crumb to eat, Aria accepts the invitation to this prestigious group. In doing so, her life will never be the same.She meets the leader of The Midnight Society, Shadow. Who may not be as complex as he seems.Aria makes a certain deal with Shadow. An offer. One she can't refuse, after all, her money problems would all be solved.If you were promised fame and fortune, would you be able to say no?Semblance is story that won't leave me anytime soon. Thank you for taking the time to read my review but as I've stated before, it's not going to give the book justice. Trust me! If you haven't already, please do me(haha),and most importantly the author a favor by buying the book.If I could I'd give this 100 stars but alas, it can only be 5.
