I wasn't expecting much with this book, given the time period that this book was released and all the other teen paranormal romances that were popular around the time. This was so much better than what I was expecting. I really enjoyed the story, although at the start, I was a little unsure it got interesting rather quickly.
Katy moves to a new town with her mother, who often leaves her alone because Katy is trustworthy. she quickly becomes friends with her next-door neighbour, Dee, despite Dee's brother Daemon being an ass. I felt that the progression of the story was well paced and that Dee and Katys' friendship was really central to it all, although there was a heavy focus on Katy's obviously blooming attraction to Daemon throughout as well. The complications of Dee and Daemon being aliens was intriguing and felt so realistic. I can't wait to read the next one, especially with the ending of this being as it was, I respect Katy so much.

I'd pass on this one if I were you! I hated the dynamic between the two main characters. I skimmed the last half the of the book just to get the main plot points.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I don’t read a lot of alien books but this one was very surprising in the best way possible.
The major issue that I had with this book was probably the pacing. I felt like it took a while to get started. And I was a little bored during the first 100 pages but once the story started to kick off, things started happening and it was wonderful, beautifully executed.
Also, I’m sort of obsessed with Daemon and Dee. I’m also very curious as to what happened to their brother. There has to be more to the story. I will just have to read the sequel then.
