Semblance is a good story and one that is filled with mystery, some steaminess and angst. It does leave you on a bit of a cliff-hanger which can be a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it. Personally, I love a good cliff hanger because it gives me something to look forward to but the wait usually feels like torture. I really struggled when I was done and began writing the review because there were a lot of moments that were 3 stars, some moments that were 4 stars and an instance where it was 5 stars. Finally I settled on 3 stars and these are my reasons why:Things that worked really well:-The suspense was absolutely fabulous and the mystery about the Midnight Society had me on the edge of my seat!-Plot twists: fantastic and I never saw them coming!-Aria is a heroine that isn't insecure; she knows who she is and what she wants. Love that.Things that were so-so:-Sometimes the dialogue seemed a bit forced giving it a choppy feel to the overall flow of the story.-Aria and Shadow fell for each other way too fast, I'm not a fan of insta-love.-I wanted Shadow to hold onto his secrets and not share right away because the mystery is was makes him so swoon worthy.-There were moments when the pacing was too quick in areas when it should have slowed down and vice-versa.Semblance is a suspense driven story, one I truly enjoyed despite my concerns because all the plot twists and turns were fabulous! If you are looking for a story that's different and a total page turner...this is the book for you! ;)
