Goodreads Summary
The book starts out with Ella wanting to be independent from her pompous family. She wants to be free (what 12th grader doesn’t, eh?). Once she is accepted into college, she is invited to parties with her friend, Josie, and has a great time. Sororities ask her to be a part of their clan and life is basically good. Life can’t be good, forever, right? In comes the dilemma: her past boyfriend died in a brutal way. Ella is plagued with the incident, and has nightmares about it. She meets a popular cute guy named Tristan and that’s when her life falls to pieces. He’s not portrayed as a bad guy… just a little arrogant and snobby. Her dreams of her past boyfriend’s incident start changing and she thinks it has something to do with Tristan. What is it about him? Why is she starting to feel different?
I have mixed feelings about this book. The characters are great, all of them worked together well and I loved the humor. Ella is a likable character. My heart went out to her and everyone else. Josie was one of my favorite people in the book. She reminds me of me: very spunky and outgoing. Every character was three dimensional and I never felt like we were missing a piece of them. It was all explained and the plot was easy to follow.
Yes, this is a paranormal. I didn’t think it was until halfway through the book. There really weren’t any werewolves changing form or vampires randomly showing up at parties drinking everyone’s blood, but just note that it’s there! The reader might not realize it when reading, but it’ll catch up to you.
Here is where the mixed feelings come in. I really enjoyed this book… I did. The plot sometimes felt a little too slow for me, so I skimmed some pages. I didn’t skip any, just skimmed. Sometimes, I didn’t skim because the dialogue between the characters was interesting and I wanted to read more, but other times I wasn’t interested. I recommend this book for paranormal lovers!
