**I received this book for free from the author in exchange
for an honest review, Goodreads.com**
This book was brilliantly original pulling you into the
story and the lives of the characters from the very first page. It is a
fantastic read full of fantastic characters and a great storyline that will
keep you hooked and fulfil at least a days’ worth of reading.
The main character is Marissa, a normal girl who up until her 18th birthday has
lived a normal life with her father after her mother left when she was a child.
On the day of her 18th birthday she receives a present off her
mother and ends up being thrown into a new world that Marissa has never
encountered before. I liked Marissa as a character and I found the way she
dealt with issues and problems refreshingly interesting as she overcame them
and began to understand the new things happening in her life.
The secondary
characters included Greco, Myrine and Steve; Greco is the guardian put in
charge of training Marissa in her new powers and abilities. Myrine is Marissa’s
absent mother, it actually turns out that she is the queen of a supernatural
race and is the reason for change in Marissa’s life. Steve is Marissa’s ex-army
father; he has looked after Marissa since an early age and is very invested in
making sure she is ok with all she has learned about herself and her mother.
The pacing was
great leading up from Marissa becoming aware of her powers and abilities to her
meeting her mother before moving onto the bigger threat which has the potential
to hurt a lot of people.
The storyline
was brilliantly original and included a number of supernatural characters which
added to this thrilling and exciting story.
3.5 stars, a
really great read.
