Synopsis:

Evie is surrounded by paranormals: her best friend, her ex-boyfriend...and she's got a talent of her own - she can see through other paranormal's glamour's. When paranormals start dying and Evie starts having prophetic dreams, she starts to believe her abilities may be connected to the murders. Even worse, she is at the centre of a dark prophecy which promises the destruction of all paranormal creatures.

 

First Line:

 "Wait - did you - You just yawned!"

 

Review:

I liked the uniqueness of the plot. The idea of their being an organisation that polices paranormal races as an intriguing idea. One that I'd like to have read more about. But alas the story was centred (rightly so) on Evie and her life. Evie is a great character to read about, she'd witty, feisty and she can kick ass - she really is one of the better parts of this book. I also enjoyed Lend and Peth's characters, together they make the perfect 'good boy', 'bad boy' sides of the love triangle and both are attractive in their own ways - Evie's a lucky girl. The only problem I have with this book is that I found it sort of anticlimactic. A good portion of this book is spent building up to this showdown but in the end it just fell flat. The ending almost felt sort of rushed. All in all it was an enjoyable read. I hope to continue the series.

 

Recommended Audience:

Any YA lovers, especially those who love all things paranormal and who love a good love triangle.
