I saw this book and I had a total girly OMG moment. Why? Well, remember a while back, I read Beautiful Creatures and its sequels? Yeah, this is a spin off series of that one. But where those books followed Lena and Ethan's love story, these books are going to follow Ridley and Link's "love" story. I was crazy stoked for that.
Of course, through an actual read of it, it wasn't a stellar book. But I went in not expecting a great work of literature. It's a young adult novel and those tend towards a lighter side than some adult novels tend to. Now, don't get me wrong. This book is not all fluffy bunnies and happily ever afters. It's actually a bit dark.
Ridley and Link have the complicated relationship of these books. They love each other, but the act of saying those words is hard. Link doesn't have a problem since he's three quarters mortal and one quarter Blood Incubus. But Ridley struggles because she's a Dark Caster and a Siren to boot. She struggles to believe that Link actually does love her because it's hard for her to trust what anyone says to her. She has the power to manipulate people to say whatever she wants them to.
But, she lost at a card game and the cost was a drummer (Link) and a house marker which leaves her vulnerable to being forced to do whatever Lennox Gates wants for a year. But Ridley won't tell Link about any of this.
Lennox Gates has his own secrets to hide. One of which involves a plot against Ridley and Link. But things happen that Nox doesn't expect and he ends up working to unravel all the traps he's helped to lay.
This book, however, ended in a freaking cliffhanger! I'm so mad and yet so impatient to get the next book so that I can keep reading about Link and Ridley. It's frustrating!
