Dark Song by Gail Giles
3.0
3 1/2 stars
I was pretty excited about this one. Good girl Ames who finds her life starting to spiral out of control. When she meets Marc, she finds herself going to the dark side with him. He falls for her. Hard. Ames beings to rebel and has to come to terms if she's really prepared to betray her family for him.
This is a hard book for me to review. It is set in two parts, and each part is completely different than the other. It almost felt as if I was reading two different books. The first part focuses mainly on family issues and her struggle dealing with it all. Part two focuses on her relationship with Marc and her transformation to a completely different person.
Part one was slow, where part two I couldn't stop reading. But really it all felt to rushed. Everything happened so fast in their relationship I couldn't really feel the connection between them and where his obsession with her really began. I wanted more insight to his darkness. Honestly, I think the second part could have held on it's own if the author would have focused more on that and less of the family issues. More detail into their dark descent together.
I've looked into other books by this author and they all seem to have a darker theme to them, so I am interested in trying another of her books for a different experience. This is YA but definitely has serious themes involved.
