Oh, and one of the biggies that really made me like this book is that they actually have sex! It wasn't descriptive, though, Grey just tells you through Tessa that they did, but that's a hell of a lot better than many authors I've seen. Because Alec is just freaking awesome, and I love Alec. They were good suspense and really helped me connect to Alec's pain.
She did have a backbone for the most part through the novel, and it was nice knowing that she was going to leave their service as soon as she got to America, which was why she was trying to be good with her employers, and that at least she was thinking horrible things about them.Īlso, the Brotherhood is freaking scary and messed up I really like how Gray wrote them into the story. I've had enough of that in the 180+ books I've read on Goodreads and the hundreds, if not thousands that I've read on my own, so she lost a bit of respect with me there.
I got the typical: a weird zing went through me, our eyes met, my heart got stuck in my throat, and I couldn't stop staring at him insta-love. I didn't like the insta-love that happened with her, though. She wasn't a total idiot and said some very funny things sometimes. She's definitely not the most stand-out female MC that I've ever read, but she was. He's actually trying to change and figure out a way to ease the pain and suffering that he has caused his father and, when he needs to, he'll put his love for Tessa aside in order to do what is best for the greater good, which is something rare that you don't see too often if the wild and dangerous world of YA novels these days.Īnd I did like Tessa. However, unlike a certain other character from Twilight a different novel that will remain unnamed, he just doesn't sit around twiddling his thumbs and feeling sorry for himself. And I also loved his backstory I just wanted to know as much about him as I could, and my heart always bled for him when we find out how much his curse has really destroyed his life. First off Claudia Gray knows how to write a damn smexy character, and I could really picture his character and how he looked inside of my head. Is it sad to say that I liked the male love-intrest a lot more than the MC? Because I really really enjoyed Alec a lot more than I ever expected to. on with what this review should be about: the inside of the book! Sometimes I just sit in my room for hours just stroking and thinking about the many dirty things I could do with it, because I'm totally cool like that.Īhem.but anywayssss. I'm seriously obsessed with it right now. It has everything I want: it's got raised lettering, different textures, and it's oh so tantalizingly shiny.
Let me start off this review by saying that I love love love love love the American cover for this book. I rated this book 3.5 stars, and there are some slight spoilers, but they're not that huge.
