Synopsis:
Iris Kohl lives in a world populated by murky shadows that surround, harass, and entice unsuspecting individuals toward evil. But she is the only one who can see them. She’s had this ability to see the shadows, as well as brilliantly glowing light figures, ever since an obscure, tragic incident on her fourteenth birthday three years earlier.Although she’s learned to cope, the view of her world begins to shift upon the arrival of three mysterious characters. First, a handsome new teacher whose presence scares away shadows; second, a new friend with an awe-inspiring aura; and third, a mysterious and alluring new student whom Iris has a hard time resisting despite already having a boyfriend.
As the shadows invade and terrorize her own life and family, she must ultimately revisit the most horrific event of her life in order to learn her true identity and become the hero she was meant to be.
My Thoughts: This book really caught me off guard a number of times. Just when I thought I had gotten a handle on what was going to happen or what was going on I was thrown a curve ball. Once I started reading this one I couldn't put it down because I just had to find out what the deal was and how everything was going to turn out.
I was taken in by the cover--very beautiful. Now that I now what it's about, I'll think about it. I hate bad endings and bad beginnings for that matter.

The beginning was great. The ending just cut-off a bit too abruptly for my tastes, which is kind of a pet-peeve of mine :) There is a sequel coming out, so I would recommend reading this when the sequel is released so you can jump right into the next one. :)
DeleteThanks for the review and I'm glad you enjoyed it! If it makes you feel any better, I'm working on the sequel right now. Haha. Thanks again! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful book! I will be sure to check out the sequel :)
