Breath of fresh air,
February 7, 2014
This book was awesome. The author is very good
with suspense and pacing. Even when nothing was really going, I was
intrigued. The author definitely has a talent for making the boring,
mundane day to day activities seem interesting. This is not to say that
any of the book was boring, but it just seemed so...real. It highlight
the small town life to a T, along with first time relationships and so
forth.
Some reviewers have mentioned that Tegan sounds like a 12
year old and that her parents are too overprotective. I disagree. I
thought Tegan sounded really mature, at least in her internal dialogue,
sometimes her spoken words did not match the maturity of her internal
voice, but that usually only happened when she was around Sara, her
bestfriend, Throw too many teenage girls in a room and the maturity
level is bound to go down, just saying. As far as parents go, this is
the first book I've ever read where the parents really seemed to have a
role. They love their daughter and want what is best for her. The author
did very good with characterization. I could see everyone, and if you
asked me what each character was doing at this moment, I could give you a
viable answer.
Yes, Rake is 19, but if some of you remember
being 16, I'm sure you will realize that you were either dating or
fawning over someone older than you. Don't be jealous that she got the
older guy. And hey, I'm not sure how old Damien (officer Sanders) is,
but I'd be down for reading about that do. Rake and Tegan's relationship
is sweet and they don't go humping each other like cattle. Her
birthday/first date was my favorite scene in the book. I say scene,
because when I read the book, it was like watching a movie. Everything
smoothly transitioned and there was enough of a guessing game to keep me
hooked.
If you want a good book that is easy to read with a
little romance, a hot cop with secrets, and paranormal elements, then
this book is for you!
