Let me just start off by saying that I can not believe that I waited
this long to read this book. It has literally been on my TBR list for
like a year now, but I finally got the opportunity to read it :D!
Heven
is a seventeen year old girl that is always hiding behind her hood.
Before the accident she used to be the most popular girl at school.
Heven can not remember what happened that tragic night that resulted in
her left side of the face being scarred. All that she can remember is
that she was chased by a beast.
Sam knows what happened to Heven
on the night she was attacked, and he knows the person that disfigured
her face. Sam blames himself for what happened to her. His love for her
has changed her life and has put her in danger. After seeing what
happened to Heven, he vows to protect her from his own kind.
Where
to begin on how amazing this book is! For starters, I seriously could
not put this book down. I was intrigued by what the characters were
experiencing, and then there was all of the mystery behind Heven's
scars. I just wanted to keep reading to find out how she got the scars. I
also wanted to find out the reason for why she got attacked. Now, I was
seriously thinking that the thing that attacked her was a werewolf, and
that Sam was a werewolf as well. I was totally not expecting Sam to be
....(DON'T WANT TO SPOIL IT). My jaw literally dropped to the ground. I
was seriously not expecting this, but afterwards I was so excited to
keep reading this book.
I really loved the protagonist, Heven, in
the story. She actually progresses in the story. In the beginning of
the story her self-esteem is very low, she does not value herself, and
she is always trying to avoid people. Throughout the story Sam helps
Heven value herself, by helping her see that she is beautiful, and has
always been beautiful. In addition, Heven starts hanging out and talking
to her old friends. In the end, she values herself and accepts the new
person she has become.
Lastly, I really loved hearing both
Heven's and Sam's point of view in the story. I loved how Cambria
Herbert included Sam's point of view, but did not stray the focus of
Heven's point of view. It was great reading a few scenes from Sam's
point of view. Now, there are two other different point of views that
are in the story, but these only show up a few times.
Overall,
this was an enjoyable read that I can see myself re-reading soon. I
recommend everyone that loves Hot, Sexy, Bad boys and paranormal,
romance, and mystery in their books to read this. Plus, the cover art is
gorgeous and what lies inside the book is amazing.
FINAL VERDICT: 5 STARS
