My Book Summary : When they were younger Sadie and her little sister, Heather, had to be the ones to make sure that everything was okay with their mother. Especially with her ramblings, non-legible journals, and antics that some days made them wonder if she should be in a loony bin or not. It also didn't help that there was no one who would voluntarily help them out.
Now years later, they've both have grown up and their lives have definitely changed ... or at least Sadie's has. Two years ago, after their mother past away, Sadie did somethings that were like her mother's antics, so much so that Heather now asks like a mother hen to Sadie now, controlling her every move. Sadie understands her sister's concern but things are getting better for her. She has a good job (even if it doesn't pay), a sweet friend, and she is agreeing to therapy. Plus, there is this really hot guy who visits her job a lot that she would love to meet. Things are good ... now if only Heather would see that.
However, Sadie is keeping a secret ..... she keeps having dreams of that hot guy that visits her job. And not only romantic ones either. Could this mean she is becoming more like her mother then ever before? Is she going to go crazy at any moment now?
And right when Sadie thinks she just might have gone crazy ... her world and everything she thought she knew gets turned upside down.
My Book Review : 3.8 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!! This is an intriguing new series with a storyline that hooked me from the beginning. This series seems like a mixture of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, the X-Men, and R. G. Alexander's Children of the Goddess series all wrapped up in a new different and exciting way!!
The characters are great to read, I loved the back stories and the twists that came along the way! I'm really curious as to what will happen next ... to Elijah's friends (new and old) and to Sadie's family. Also .... to see how/if Sadie's powers will grow!! I do hope that even though in the coming books in this series Sadie & Elijah will be secondary characters, I hope that they will still have decent size rolls in the series. Since my only problem with this novel was even though it ended really good, I still thought it ended too soon ... plus the cliff hanger (of sorts) in the epilogue really doesn't help much at all. =0/
Book Teaser(s) :
Elijah took in her visage and pulled back. "Sadie, I cannot keep kissing you."
"Wow. Um, you sure know how to make a girl feel special, Elijah." Sadie sat up, the pain gone. Embarrassed over her reaction, she tried to pretend she didn't know he saw her lust for him. "I didn't think we'd really practice playing boyfriend girlfriend. I mean, between being chased by immortals and watched by human haters, I think I can actually manage my family wondering who you are." ~ within Chapter 15
