So this book was about a 3 1/2, But since we dont get that option I rounded down. Normally when I rate a book a 3 it was decent but not interesting enough for me to continue the series. But strangely enough I think this series has enough potential for me to continue reading.

What i really hated was the slow pace of the book . I get the author wants to create mystery but come on I was on page 350 im still trying to figure out whats going on and no one is talking about anything. I felt like there was a good 100 pages that didnt move the book forward. I felt that it wasnt going anywhere.

I didn't like how Luce was so weak. She really wasn't that likeable. There wasn't anything that made her relatable. I did like Daniel though he was very interesting. I believe my favorite thing about this book was Luce & Daniel's destined love to fail.It was heart aching in a way that you just want everything to get better. I did like some of the other characters.I was guessing whos bad or good and all that, which i feel is important because you know a book is good when you are rooting for certain charcters.

The book had an interesting twist. I hated how they really didn't explain the shadows, and what the angels are fighting for if no one can really win.I believe the only reason why I will continue to read the series is because I was left with unanswered questions. Im hoping the series gets better. I'm not too big of a fan of the author's writing but I like the storyline and Im hoping more gets revealed. I was dissapointed with the book but I will read Torment to see if things get better.

I liked it. I mean, its a YA supernatural-type story. It has a good story that is a little different. I found it really entertaining and I stayed interested in the characters throughout the entire series.

After hearing and reading a bunch of horrible reviews about this book I still decided to try it and I am really glad that I did. I enjoyed this book even though it was very predictable. It's definitely not for everyone though.

Kitap tam bir hayal kırıklığıydı, aldığıma pişman oldum! Kitap Twilight'ın melek versiyonu gibiydi. Okula yeni gelmiş kız ve gizemli ve havalı bir çocuk ki bir köşede durup ürpertici bir şekilde insanları incelemeyi gizemli ve havalı bulmuyorum. Neyse devam ediyorum, kızın kendine saygısı bile yoktu ki kız sözde Latince ve Fransızca biliyor ve notları ortalamanın üstünde ve bu onu zeki yapıyor(!) Çocuğu sapık gibi takip edip o kaba tavırlarına rağmen hakkında daha çok şey öğrenmek için yapmadığı şey kalmadı. Ayrıca karakterlerin kişilikleri bile doğru düzgün değildi. Kusura bakmayın ama bana altın rengi göz farı süren ve kendini kötü adam ilan eden şeytan tarafını seçmiş bir melek ve hiç bir özelliği olmayan bir kız için yapılan savaş fikri hiç mantıklı gelmedi ve Daniel'a diyecek söz bile bulamıyorum. Bu konu altında, cidden içinde mitoloji barındıran ve güçlü karakterlere sahip bir kurgu yapılabilirdi. Spoiler vermeden açıl uçlu anlatayım dedim ama bence siz hiç kitabı okumak için zaman kaybetmeyin. Ve sakın benim gibi bir daha kapağa göre kitap almayın!
