Introductions by C.L. Stone
4.0
It's strange. I put this book on my wishlist quite some time ago. Last week I all of a sudden had the urge to GET this book even though I had totally forgotten what this book was about. And today I all of a sudden had this urge to actually READ the book, even though I still didn't re-read the summary, so I still had no idea what this book was about. And it's quite an experience for a mood reader to just dive in blind.
In a way this book feels like a prequel to the actual story, but in a way I also appreciate getting this book first and being introduced to all the characters this way. Because, that's what the book is really doing. When it says Introductions, it actually means that the book is gonna introduce all the main characters to us, one by one, each with a chapter with their name above it. And although nothing much happens yet, I do feel like I really got to know these characters and bonded with them.
It's not that hard to bond with the heroine. Just like the guys it didn't take long before my overprotective feelings started to take over. Not simply because the heroine has a tragic life at home, with a mom who is terrified of going out herself and therefore forbids her daughter to have contact with the outside world, punishing them in the most horrible ways if they break that rule, but also because our heroine is endearing, intelligent and has a lot of will power.
In this book we don't really find out much about the guys and what they're actually doing, but the book gives a lot of hints and therefore kept me guessing. I do think I have some idea and I can't wait to dive into the next books to figure out if I'm right. However, it's not like we don't know the guys at all. Their personalities shine through and it's quite clear that they're already really devoted to our heroine, although they have to work on their communication skills.
