Review
I don't know why I hadn't heard of Melissa Marr, I must have been hiding under a rock or something, but now that we have found each other you guys can be certain that you will be seeing more about her books around this blog.
This book brings you a story told by different characters, each time the story focuses on one of them we see the story become more complex and the universe in which it all takes place expand.
This book enchants you whit what each character has to say, how they view their world and what secrets are they hiding from us and from each other, how all the players are going to come together and how are they important to the story.
One thing for which I'm really grateful is that Melissa Marr reminds us the ages of the main characters, most of them around 18 years old, because certain characters give a feel that they are older then 18, maybe mid twenty's at times, the way they where raised and their past lets you know that they had to grow up fast, but they are so well written that you will need a reminder of their age.
This is a dynamic and fun book and well packed with a little bit for everyone from the action of the fights, a splash of romance, really interesting characters and unexpected twist and turns.

Sounds really good! Melissa Marr's books haven't been my favorites in
ReplyDeletethe past, but I like the sound of this one-- and the cover. Great
review, and excellent job writing well about what sounds like a really
complex plot. :)
