I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Arie is an eighteen year old girl that lost her mother two years ago. Since that time she has been in a deep depression, just going through the motions of life. She’s even pushed away River, the boy she’s seen as her soul mate since she was seven. All that changes when, on her eighteenth birthday, she starts to wake up and become attuned to nature once again. She starts to see shadows and meets Ashe, a beautiful boy she’s instantly drawn to. Her heart is torn, should she stick with trusty, reliable River. Or open her heart to the dark and mysterious Ashe. Plus she’s just found out that she needs to make a decision of the heart on the next full moon for her ascension.
After reading some excerpts from this book, I was really excited to read it. It was a very intriguing story that kept my attention. It was action packed and full of emotions. I felt Arie’s sadness over losing her mother. I loved River and his devotion to Arie. I loved the love triangle and the action. I was frustrated over a few things in this story. I felt the sadness and depression Arie felt were overblown. Okay she was sad and grieving, I get it, I just couldn’t stomach it throughout the whole book. I also was disappointed with the ending. Seriously, you have a love triangle and she ends up with no one. If you love YA paranormal romance, you’ll love this book. I’d highly recommend it. However, I’m not sure if I’ll personally continue with this series.
