A review by bstaats
Crossroads by Mary Ting
3.0
I was provided a free copy of this book by the author, [a:Mary Ting|4388953|Mary Ting|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1305420334p2/4388953.jpg], in a Goodreads giveaway. It's another spin on the angel/human supernatural YA genre, but this one is nice because it's about more than fighting a villain and forbidden romance.
This is a good YA book which I was pleasantly surprised by. Ting writes well, and since this is one of her first published books I'm sure she'll only get better.
There were times when I felt frustrated with Claudia as a character since she felt almost too perfect. Michael was a far more intriguing character for me. As well, the plot is very black and white and simple but that may change in future sequels. as well, parts were confusing as to the motives why Ting would include something in the plot, such as the two Claudia Emerson characters, but that can easily be looked over by the end of the book.
The relationship between Claudia and her Gamma was truly touching and made me tear up! Easily the best part of the book in my eyes.
