Masquerade by Cambria Hebert

4.0

I really liked Masquerade. There's a sense of mystery for most of the book, and I really liked that. We know that Heven has an accident, which left her with some pretty nasty scars, but what no one knows is what happened. Until the end, of course, when we learn about who attacked and why they did it.

I loved the chapters where we see "the hate" and "the hope." You know they're the one's who know about what happened to Cambria, and while the hope, who turns out to be Sam, is totally obvious, it worked really well.

One of the things I loved was that Sam is a hellhound. Definitely cool, and I liked that Heven is a Supernatural Treasure. Of course, Sam has to protect her, and they are given a mission that they'll complete in the books to come, which isn't a big surprise. But it's also a pretty original idea, and I can't wait to see if they complete the task that's been given to them.

I wish we had more glimpses of Heven's life before. It's referred to, but we don't actually see it. Still, we do get just enough to see how things play out.

I thought the characters were interesting, although I don't particularly care for Heven's mom or her friend Kimbra. Her grandma is pretty awesome. As for Sam and Cole's dislike of each other...I think there's more to this, and I'm not sure why.

No story is complete without romance, and I really liked it. More than I expected, considering that it was fairly predictable. But I still really liked it, and they are cute together.

Masquerade gets a 4 out of 5. It is predictable but I really enjoyed it because I loved Sam as a hellhound and Heven as a Supernatural Treasure.
