Atancia is far from just another romance.  With crazy plot twists, mysterious Aussies, and a clever spin on immortals, I loved it from beginning to end. Whenever I put it down, the story stayed with me until I was compelled to pick it back up again.Atty is a sweet, shy girl who suffers from panic attacks. She meets Ben, a swoon-worthy Durand, and as they grow closer he reveals a few facts she doesn’t know about herself. I don’t want to give away any spoilers but the Durand mythology is fresh and interesting. We learn about it as Atty does, and I loved certain rules that were integrated in the world.Figueiro has a talent for weaving beautiful narrative and empathetic characters.  I cared about Atty, crushed on Ben, and fell absolutely in love with Matty. Their relationships kept the story flowing at an excellent pace.And the end!! OMG. I’m on pins and needles, desperately waiting for the second novel.Fabulous book. I highly recommend for anyone who likes YA, paranormal, or just great story telling.
