Creatura [Kindle Edition]

Nely Cab (Author)

Book Description

"When seventeen year-old Isis Martin is having trouble sleeping
due to perturbing dreams of a horrific growling beast, she decides
to confront her fear. But what Isis discovers is something other
than a menacing entity.

The human-like creature offers Isis assurance that he is not a figment
of her imagination. Unwilling to accept his avowal, Isis sets his words
to contest by asking the entity to prove himself - a dare, he readily welcomes.

It is in her dreams that Isis innocently stumbles upon the silent existence of the divine lineage of those that man has long forgotten.

In a quaint town, deep in south Texas, this story leads Isis onto the path of impermissible love and captivating life-changing truths. Isis Martin's
journey is sure to leave any reader ravenous for more."

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Recommend...A Great Love Story! September 10, 2011

By Marisol V Herrera

I heard about this book through a book blogger. What interested me at first was that the author is from a city that is only 15 minutes away from my hometown. Therefore, I wanted to support local authors and purchased the book. After receiving it, the blurb on the back of the book left me intrigued and with the need to want to understand how one can be both more than human and less than human. So I started reading.

The plot is interesting and unique. Seventeen year old Isis Martin is unable to sleep due to the nightmares she experiences. While sleeping, she dares the boy from her dreams, David Chios, to prove that he is real. Little does she know that the boy from her dreams eventually becomes the boy every girl, including herself, dreams of. Eventually, they fall in love, but it is forbidden due to her being a mortal and David being an immortal. However, David is willing to sacrifice anything to be with Isis, and he does. Because of their unique circumstances, life-threatening complications arise and questions are raised. After Isis's mother, Claire, finally reveals a secret that will help her discover the truth about her father, they embark on a new journey to discover the truth.

This book kind of reminded me of the movie, City of Angels. The only resemblance being that an angel sacrifices immortality to be with his love, a human being. Since I am a sucker for romance, I loved this story. I especially loved David. Oh, does he make hearts swoon. Mrs. Cab did an excellent job portraying this character. David is a perfectly nice gentleman who takes into consideration Claire's feelings and wishes. His love letters and poems to Isis made my heart melt. Oh how I wish my husband was that romantic! David is definitely a keeper, and Isis is a lucky girl to have him.

Overall, my favorite part of the whole book is the storyline and its love elements. The theme "love conquers all" is prevalent throughout this book. You must read it if you enjoy paranormal romance novels. The only thing I disliked about the book is that I have to wait until next year for the sequel. I already want to know more about Isis' lineage and whether or not David and Isis will transform. Ugh, I am so impatient.

All in all, I highly recommend this book. You will fall in love with it.

Ceaselessly Yours,
Marisol

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!!! June 24, 2012

If I had to sum up my review for this book, it would be simple: Creatura is made of awesome!!!! Seriously, I am floored by this book. I have had it for quite a while and am kicking myself for not having read it earlier. In fact, I was so enthralled by this book that I read it too fast and am feeling compelled to go back and reread it slowly so I can savor everyone of her well placed words. I am not a huge fan of "diaries" in books, but WOW! They were powerful and really fit the character. I loved the characters and the lore was so stinkin' unique and fun that I was literally glued to the book. The only problem I had with this book is that it is over and I can not find a release date for a second book. I do so hope there will be a second book because I will miss these characters if there is not.

I won the copy of Creatura I have reviewed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Read!!! Must read for action lovers!!! June 3, 2012

Haunting dreams and even more perturbing daily events have the main character on edge throughout the book. Not only does she have to discover who she is as a teenager, but she also has to figure out what she is. I love the tale that the author has weaved throughout this book. The details are amazing, leaving you wishing you were in the story. The characters are very well portrayed. Some were easy to love and some were easy to hate. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book! I would recommend this book to all who love a great paranormal romance :)
