2.5 stars -- ok, full disclosure -- I started and was reading this book during a time I didn't have a lot of time for reading and so was quite distracted. So I can't honestly say if I would have always felt this way about this book, or if it was circumstances you know? So take with a grain of salt.

I just had so much trouble getting sucked in to the story. I think there were quite a few factors -- I found all the different foreign language words/terms rather confusing. Usually it's not too big a deal, but there were SO MANY and I just felt lost...like I wish I knew what the words meant so I felt more complete and able to follow without pausing every time I came to a new word. The second major factor was just that I didn't find Wren or Jonas all that likeable. They definitely had their moments, but even their attraction felt forced sometimes, or just inexplicable or something... And they seemed to change moods all the time -- whining one minute, apologizing profusely the next....hot and cold. I get it to some extent, but it was just too much for me. I guess Wren just wasn't my type of girl, and I'm the kind of reader that really needs to like the main characters to fully enjoy a book. Even all the crazy emotions and miscommunications with the parents were crazy. And Wren's relationship with Nevaeh was odd...or creepy or something to me. Gah, I wish I knew what it was that bothered me and if it's really not good or if I just wasn't in the right mood. :(

There was some fantastically sassy lines and dialogue here and there that was cool. I LOVED Loki. Some of the descriptions were fantabulous (like of being in Vee's head), but at times even those descriptions got too much and I lost my train of thought.

So in the end...you probably shouldn't take this review too seriously...unless a great many other reviewers say similar things. I'm sad though...perhaps I just prefer Ms. Reinhardt's contemporary stuff to her paranormal forays. B/C I must say the sneak peek of Fall Guy had me salivating....
