This book started off as a romantic story and through some very sharp twists and turns moved into the supernatural genre. The characters and various scenarios were nicely portrayed. Although I found the book to be a bit long, it was nicely written and the story moved at a good pace.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The build up was great!

This story is actually my first book that I’ve read that had 500+ pages. I did feel like the book did start off slow, it took a while for everything to come together. It took me finishing the book and digesting it to realize that the author had to lengthily build and showcase the story in such a way to explain everything. The author is definitely a pro when it comes to showing the readers what is happening within the story. Her descriptions are very vivid, giving you a glimpse of what she’s trying to portray. Initially I was actually liking Damina’s character but as the story progressed, my liking for her turned into annoyance. The entire time she’s constantly running away from new issues instead of facing them head on. She runs to get away from Jackson, her fiancé and days later run into the arms of Dalcour. A man she’s only known for a couple days and quickly professes her love. I couldn’t vibe with the romance that much. The back and forth she had internally between Jackson and Dalcour was draining. The journey of her finding out who she really was, was explained really well and enjoyable. All the secrets that come out had me on pause for sure and because I was already on the Anti-Jackson train for most of the book, the twist at the end caught me off guard completely.
