Library book haul (1)

         Hello my lovely readers. Today I am going to do my first book haul. Why this is called the Library Book Haul, is because I do not buy my books, I get them from the library. So, most of the book hauls I will do will be Library Book Hauls.

My thoughts



Story:  This story is pure GOLD. It was a fast paced book, but not too fast paced where you start getting confused. I loved the story line. It brings a new twist to the idea. I also loved the romance between Dante and Abby. It was the best part of the book, but not the only aspect of the book. This story is more than a romance. It has the perfect balance of action, mystery, and romance.


Characters: I loved every single character, even Zo. He is the perfect villain. If such a thing excites.
There is a decent amount of character development.


Writing: The writing in this book was really great for a first time author. I mean it's not the best writing, but it's still really great. I love how she makes the love between Abby and Dante feel so real. because I was afraid that the love between Abby and Dante would feel fake.

Ending: The ending was a really great ending for a first book in a series. It leaves with such a cliffhanger that you are on the edge of your seat just waiting for the next book.                  

**********************            

Overall: It was a really Great book. I loved it. It is now one of my favorite books.
