My Review:
**3.5 Stars**
I received a copy of this book for an honest review as part of this blog tour.
MY OVERVIEW: Very interesting concept. I liked how the witches and wizards all lived together and not fully integrated into society. I really want to go on a road trip to Oregon now. All the locations were depicted beautifully. I could almost smell the trees and the salty air. And man, did I want a cup of coffee while reading.
PROS: I enjoyed Rose and Aedan's story the best. You could feel all the love they had for each other and for Layla. I liked Quin a lot. I think his character was well written and full of love and concern for Layla and his coven.
CONS: I didn't like how the witches & wizards were pretty much a different species. Their love lives were complicated and just moved really, really fast. I understand the whole bonding thing, but still, even before that... too much... too fast. I also didn't like quite how much power they actually had. It didn't seem like there was a lot they couldn't do. Oh, and Layla. She is supposed to be very beautiful, yet she didn't have guys falling all over her. She was pretty much an outcast and that did not make sense at all.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS: Way to leave us hanging. : ) I look forward to reading the next book. I have an idea in my head as to who "the stranger" is, and I hope I'm wrong.
About the Author:
I'm a small town girl with big dreams and a wild imagination. I'm addicted to coffee and writing. The combination is my idea of heaven. I read every day, if only to my youngest son, whom I hope to someday inspire with my passion for writing.
