WINNER OF THE UTOPYA 2012 CON AWARD FOR BEST DEBUT NOVEL

My name is Evie Claremont and this was to be the making of me–my freshman year of college. I’d been hoping that once I’d arrived on Crestwood’s campus, the nightmare that I’ve been having would go away. It hasn’t.
I may be an inexperienced seventeen-year-old, but I’m grounded…sane. I look for rational explanations to even the strangest circumstances. Since meeting sophomore Reed Wellington, however, nothing makes any sense. Whenever he’s near, I feel an attraction to him–a magnetic kind of force pulling me towards him. I know what you’re thinking…that sounds fairly awesome. Yeah, it would be…if he liked me, but Reed acts as if I’m the worst thing that has ever happened to Crestwood…or him. But get this, for some reason every time I turn around he’s there, barging into my life.
What is the secret that he’s keeping from me? I’m hoping that it’s anything but what I suspect: that he’s not exactly normal…and neither am I. So, maybe Crestwood won’t be the making of me, but it could be the breaking of me. I’ve been left to wonder if the dark future my dream is foretelling is…inescapable.

Mediocre at best

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I went ahead and bought all the books in this series on the strength of The Kricket Series (3 Book Series), but I really could have done without. It is very Twilight. Mild spoiler alert - Instead of a vampire, the "Edward" character here (Reed) is an angel. As an atheist, I'm not a big fan of angels as characters generally, but I kept reading. Of course Reed appears to hate main character Evie at once for no apparent reason, which she obsesses about. Then it turns out to be for a supernatural reason. There is a lot of unnecessary angst and failure to read the other person's intentions, which are obvious to the reader. The "Jacob" of the story is named Russell and is a stereotypical Southern boy complete with chivalry etc. It's obvious from the first second with each character who will "win" this love triangle. Evie is immediately crazy hot for Reed, but seems to think she isn't good enough for him/is more trouble than she is worth, and can't be sure how he feels about her. Russell is nice instead of dark and brooding, but that just doesn't do it for Evie. I guess it wasn't completely horrible (I did actually read it), but I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Read The Kricket Series (3 Book Series) instead if you want to read something by this author. It was somewhat predictable, but still good. You could probably find better Twilight fan fiction on the Internet, if that's the sort of thing you are interested in. The better advice is never read Twilight fan fiction (or Twilight). Read Throne Of Glass Series (5 Book Series),A Court of Thorns and Roses (2 Book Series),The Starbound Trilogy (3 Book Series),Defy Series (3 Book Series),The Lunar Chronicles (3 books), the series beginning with Graceling (Graceling Realm Book 1), or the series beginning with Poison Study (Soulfinders Book 1). All have strong female protagonists, adventure, fantasy &/or sci-fi, and romance, but are MUCH better done than this.

I actually took a chance and bought the whole series based on the strength of the comments appended to a Facebook ad I received. I never do that. However, the comments were full of readers who said they had re-read the series multiple times and that it had become a favorite for them.

Here are my thoughts on book 1:

The first 13-15% of the book is not great. I had a hard time getting immersed in the story because the only really relatable characters were Alfred and Russell. Evil was relatable at times but often said or did things that didn't make sense to me. Reed was entirely non-sensical-- he did what he did and said what he said but it was impossible to understand the character because it was not clear why he acted as he did. And, regrettably, the "Twilight" parallels were all too obvious. I'm not gonna list them because the similarities are extensive; so, I'll just sum it up with saying that if you read Twilight you will notice and likely be as irritated by the similarities as I was.

That being said, somewhere around 19% the author finds her own voice and hits her stride. From this point onward I stopped noticing and bemoaning my slow progression through the book. It became more difficult to put the book down as I wondered what would happen next and tried to guess what the mysteries of the book entailed. The characters also hit their stride and moved away from bland Twilight-esque archetypes toward something all their own.

The book is a stand-alone book with a well-written conclusion that allows readers to stop there, or opt to pursue their curiosity as to what may happen next. I.e., there is no cliffhanger but there are several incomplete plot lines likely to peak one's curiosity.

In just 1 sentence: it's a slow-starter but stick with it and you'll be glad you did.

4 stars.

Many angel books have left me disappointed/annoyed. Not this one!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I truly fell in love with this book. I was so worried though because before this book I had just finished reading something very similar (Revelation by Randi Cooley Wilson) and it was not the greatest. I did not like it at all. It had potential but the main character was annoying as hec and even her protector irritated me. He was like a broken CD on repeat that kept saying "I'll protect you no matter what." I seriously counted him saying this like 5 times in one paragraph and I was like "ok, we get it!"

But this book really surprised me by how well it was written, the loveable characters you intimately connect with, and the awesome story line that makes you want to buy all the books in the series so you can find out how it ends. It was a delicious and beyond imaginative read. This book is one of those that you want to keep on your shelf along with its entire series and hungrily reread them.

Surprising

This book was better than I imagined it would be. I couldn't help but root for Reed and Evie to make it. Russell was to straight leaves for her.Read more

Got halfway through then put it down

The book starts off well but does drag on a bit. I read all the way up until you find out the "Secret" and then the book seemed dull.Read more

Same old, same old

These books are soooooo redundant. The same thing happens in every book, just in a different setting. I found myself skimming through lots of material to find something happening.

An inescapably dramatic supernatural adventure

There was a slow build between Evie and Reed that I enjoyed, but I believe something more could have been done with Russel's character in relation to Evie.Read more
