An interesting idea for a NA paranormal romance. Playing Hooky was an imaginative book that was very cute.I only had one issue with this book and that was the world building. I liked the idea for it all, but I wanted to see it more developed. I felt like there were some holes. But, this is only the first novella in a series, so I hope that is changed in the next books.Emma was a great character. This girl was fierce. Her constant sarcastic quips brought humor into any situation. She was a very realistic character, a likable heroine.Jason was also great. He's loved Emma for years, but has never gotten up the nerve to say anything. And he's lived his life not knowing where he came from or even what he is other than not human. He was such a sweet guy. And the mystery of his origin had me anxious to find out the truth.The romance in this book was minimal. Throughout the story, it was more of Emma and Jason beginning to explore the possibility of a relationship than an epic romance. But it was still sweet.The plot moved fast. I suspected who the culprit was about halfway through, but it didn't diminish the thrills. And the ending left me burning with curiosity about what happens next.*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
