Oh. No. No, no, no. The blurb sounded very interesting but it just wasn't good. I had to DNF after the scene in the kitchen where she just went back to bed after the scene in the kitchen. ~shudders~

Absolutely loved this story! Loved the characters and it is so well written. Can not wait to read the next book in the series.

Afraid to say I DNF'd this book. Unfortunately just ended up not being the book for me but I can see others liking it.

I would like to thank Fire Quill Publishing & Carlyle Labuschagne for my free copy of the ARC through Netgalley. Due to this kind gesture, I decided to leave an honest review.

What the actual?! WHAT DID I JUST READ!!! If a girl has just been raped she is not going to be swooning and ready to jump on every red-blooded male that comes near her! WTF seriously?!

Usually, I would go into a book telling you a little bit about the story but seriously I don't even care nor do I want to! I am shocked that it has so many 5 star reviews. Now, to say I hated the book at the end would be a complete lie but until I got to around the 80% mark I was completely cringing, I felt like it was writing by a 14-year-old who thought this is what life should be like, not an adult.

Ok, let's give you some dialogue from the book which is still WTF.. keep in mind this girl has been recently raped, shes in her apartment alone and goes downstairs...

"Whos there?" I inquired. "What are you doing in here?" My knees trembled.
"Eating grapes," the silky male voice said in what felt like an eternal moment and slicing right through the comfort of silence.

then we do a little back and forth with this stranger talking being extremely weird...

I pulled my shirt over my legs and headed upstairs.
"What, no goodnight kiss?" he hollered.
The arrogance in his voice was sickening. "Jerk," I mumbled.
"I heard that!" His voice lingered in the quiet of the kitchen.
I drew a nervous breath. His charm had gotten to me.

WTF!!! YOU HAVE JUST BEEN RAPED, SOME STRANGER IS IN YOUR KITCHEN SEEMINGLY EATING GRAPES AND YOU JUST GO BACK UPSTAIRS TO YOUR BED?! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY FOR REAL?

Ava's attitude was absolutely horrendous, she would jump from Enoch to Troy in the same sentence, I can't even get my head around it, half the time it didn't make sense I kept reading it over and over like what the hell is going on. Did anyone proofread this?!

Ok, so now I literally hated our main leading lady, and really all of them to be fair but at the end, I found myself warming to her a tiny bit and Troy.. so will I read on? God knows, at this time certainly not.

"I'll never let you go," he said.
I brushed my fingertips across his lips. "I never want you to."

I really enjoyed the concept of this story. However, it was really difficult for me to get through. Even after finishing it I'm still not sure what Ava is, what powers she may possess and really what is happening in the book.

I liked it. But at times I felt like it was hard to follow... I feel like it needed more... explaining/details of her destiny or legend...

I felt like it was missing something .. ;-;

The cover was really nice, however the story was confusing and the writing style made it impossible for me to read more than 22%.

1/5 STARS: **I want to thank the author and/or publisher for providing me with a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review; all opinions are mine.**
