Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I knew better than
to be preoccupied when the Tambuku Tiki Lounge was overcapacity. Crowds are
ugly; it doesn't matter if they are human or demon.
I had a really hard
time deciding if I was going to review this or not. I really liked the way it
started out and I really loved the way the author wrote everything, but I
didn't think I was going to like the
main plot. But honestly. I loved this book.
Like really, I
couldn't put it down.
There were about two
things I didn't like in this, so I'm going to get them right out of the way:
- I didn't like the fact that Candy (our main character) seemed to really dislike Lon (the love interest) at first. To me, it just didn’t seem like her reasons not to like him were… very good.
- There is a quick moment were Lon over reacts. Though it is done in a way that is very understandable it still left me going "Oh god, don't be stupid man!"
And that's it! Which
is a big deal for me because I'm so freakin nitpicky about books I normally
find at least five things I didn't like with in the first chapter!
Anyways, let's move
onto everything that I loved about this book.
I’m going to start
off with two large aspects of the book, the magic in the world and the magic
society in the world. I loved them both. I felt like the magic used in this
world wasn’t something I have read about in all the other books I’ve read but
it didn’t try too hard to be original.
I like both the main
characters, and I felt all the side characters were done well. I love the fact
that Candy has a pet hedgehog, and that Lon has a 13 year old son. But more
than that I love romance novels that involve the kids bringing people together,
and in an odd way I felt like Lon's son helped down that. I also liked seeing a
father with full custody of a son in the novel. Now, since Lon has a 13 year
old son it's safe to assume he's a little older than Candy… there's also a
paranormal element that keeps him from aging (which I won't give away but I
LOVED) and I thought the author did a good job with the age difference. It
wasn't the a major issue, but it did leave both characters wondering.
Speaking of loved… I
loved the way the author did demons in this book. They play a huge role and
they are done beautifully! There is so much detail and thought put into them it
was… honestly just great.
Since this is a
romance it is safe to say there is an “I love you” or something along the lines
of one. So let’s talk about that… because (you guessed it) I loved it. I won’t
give too much away but there is a bit of a fight scene. I love fight scene I love
you’s! They always make me laugh and this one was no exception.
This book got a 5
star review because I could not put it down for the life of me, and on top of
that I wanted to read more. As soon as I finished this book I put the second
one on hold at my library. It let me gratified. It didn’t drag out too long or
end too soon. It was action packed and I felt like it was a really good
beginning to a series.
