Firstly, this is an excellent paranormal story by Dannye
Williamsen. She has a way of captivating her readers with her confident style
of writing, easy flow and a very good plot. There are no boring fillers, scenes
are described with such expertise that you almost feel that you there. Also,one of the hardest things to do is edit your own work. In this novel, Dannye proved her abililties as an editor. Her editing, in my opinion, was flawless.
The one thing that struck me about this book was the power.
Although, predominately this is a story about a battle between good and evil,
the power aspect of it really shone through for me. The two main characters
struggled to maintain this in their lives, therefore forcing them to follow a
different path in order to try and re-gain control. One good, one evil, both
demanding sympathy in different ways. Several times I found myself feeling this
and I was questioned why. Again, the power thing- this time the author over the
reader.
In the end it became
a fight between the characters, Darian and Freddie to see who would win the emotional fight, who
would gain control.
No spoilers here, I recommend you read this book for
yourself. However, there is more to this book than meets the eye, in my
opinion. On the surface, it is a thoroughly enjoyable, paranormal page turner.
Into the mix, the author throws in some romance, action and spine tingling
moments. Delve into this book deeper and you will find much more material to study .Food for thought
on the psychological aspects of it all, what makes people act in a certain way,
different actions, different ways of dealing with things? Does love conquer all
or is it power? Well, I recommend you read it and decide for yourself.
To conclude:
Very good storyline, skilfully planned throughout, the
author had complete control of her characters at all times, no waffle or
straying off the point. The underlying material is there if you want to analyse
it, if not just enjoy the book for what it is. I did!
