I’m not sure if I would have picked up this book if I hadn’t been given an ARC, however the concept did sound interesting so I was quite curious where this would go. So when I finished my book for the N.E.W.T.’s for today I gave this one a go.
But I have to admit that this was not my kind of story. The concept is still intriguing and interesting. However the interesting aspects play a very small role in the whole. Too small for me. I would have loved a little more paranormal elements and a little less teenage love drama. Especially because a lot of problems and issues could have been prevented if the characters had just talked with each other.
It’s very clearly a case where the issue is a personal issue and not so much an issue with the book itself. The story is well written with a lot of focus on the emotions and individual characters. We get to know Dylan and Heaven very well and the important pieces of the puzzle fall into place quite nicely. And if you don’t read the last paragraph, it works very well as a stand alone too.
I can imagine that in the next books the supernatural aspect might be a little more prominent, but I also have the feeling that the love drama will increase and continue too. If you’re into well written and emotional teenage love drama you’ll surely enjoy this book. I will however not continue this series. For personal reasons, not because it’s bad.
