RATING:
2/3 Smarties
Characters:
I'm torn about this one. I LOVED Damen - he was such a nice and sweet guy and then again really funny and...ahh, I guess I do get all the swooning over him. I was on good terms with the side characters, too. I thought Jude was very well done and included in the story, Haven and Miles gained some personality - even if they were still thrown in at random. The only one I could not stand throughout the whole entire book was Ever. Woah, annoying!
Romance:
It's weird how the romance always seems to come short in this Paranormal Romance novel. There's always something getting between these two. Then again, if they are together and everything's fine, they make a great couple, I think.
Plot:
It rocked. Seriously. Nothing more to say. The book did not drag a bit. There was always something happening, always new problems to figure out and plot twists very well done. Applause, please!
Writing:
As always, I find Noel's writing style by no means as special and out there as, for example, Lauren Oliver's or Maggie Stiefvater's. Then again, those two are prone to overdoing it sometimes,too. With Noel we always get enjoyable, fluent writing that keeps the story vivid. She seems to focus more on plot and characters and in my opinion, that's totally fine and works for her stories.
Overall:
Much, much, much better than the first two. I really liked this one and coming from a Paranormal Romance hater that means something, too. After reading Blue Moon, I was sure I'd stop reading the series, but now I just have to find out what happens next! Then ending, guys!! I died, no kidding!
