My Review:
3.5 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Angels, Another-World, Mystery, Romance, Supernatural, Space, Suspense, Teen, Time-Travel, Vampires--
Fiona has spent the last few years searching for the father that abandoned her and her mother a long time ago, but has no luck. After a car accident, Fiona meets a man who claims he has the answer to what she has been searching for. Matthew has been waiting for Fiona for years and now that he has the opportunity to be her mentor and bring her into the society, he takes it. But this endeavor may be more than either of them bargained for.
There was a LOT going on in this story. I am not really sure how I feel about everything or even how to write a review that encompasses everything that took place. Being a busy plot/world I feel is kind of an understatement. There was a secret societies, vampires, angels (that kind of reminded me of gargoyles when they shift), potential ghosts of dead sisters, missing fathers, romance, a vampire underground rebellion, betrayal, obsession, addiction, lies... oh and space and time travel (didn't see that coming, now did you?). I have no idea what the authors goal was when they went into this story with so many random pieces, but somehow a surprisingly cohesive book popped out.
The main aspect of the story was the mystery of Fiona's missing father, the driving force that motivated all of her actions. While trying to find him, Fiona (and the reader) stumble into the middle of a hot mess situation where not a whole lot was explained- initiation into a secret society, what is this society you ask? Yeah, I don't know. That being said, I was still interested and engaged in the book, even while I had no idea what was going on. And we get to the end and I still feel like almost no answers were revealed but instead the next book sets up some sort of crazy (and I could mean that literally) test for Fiona and her archenemy to escape from before more truths can come out.
So of course I want to read the next book, even though my description of this story sounds like a random hodge podge of ingredients that in no way go together. I really do not know how to efficiently describe what I read since it was all over the place, yet interesting and completely unique. I say if you are up for an adventure, then give this read a shot!
I received this title in return for my honest review.
