Oh My
I am astonished, I hardly have any words to write, my mind is a little blank, well that could also be from my cold Kj X-p
There is such an improvement from the first book. I did quite enjoy the first, but I was a little harsh in my review about the way it was written. You can read my review for Wolf Moon: A Grazi Kelly Novel
Here
. I won't rewrite the review points, that won't be, well, right.
From the first chapter to the last I was hooked. The struggle for Grazi to come to terms with who and what she is felt real to me. Not like most other YA's where the protagonist learns that she is paranormally special in some way (Werewolf, vampire, witch, etc...) and just you knows, accepts it. Oh hey you’re a [insert paranormal creature here].. protagonist is all like, oh I am, cool, let’s go fight stuff. That's probably a little biased of me, but you all know what I'm saying.
I enjoyed, giggle sometimes, at Grazi's struggle with the two boys she may or may not like. Though at times, I wanted to backhand her, scold her while pointing her in the right direction.-The direction of Ronan that is.-
What got me, what really made me giddy about this book is that though it has the normal school drama, boys, and all that other teenage angst going one, the plot doesn't get lost. It's always there, always in the back of Grazi's head. She's mature and knows how much danger she's actually in.
Her reaction to one of passages in her mother’s diary was perfect. Not that smashing a mirror is you know, healthy or anything, but her anger, as heartbreaking as it was, was almost perfect to the point that I felt my one hands bleeding. (Glass hurts, never hit a mirror out of anger kids, not worth it. I haven’t, but general consensus is that, sharp pointy things hurt.)
If I could slap (pinch) her aunt, I would smack her teeth in. She reminds me of own of my own aunts. She got no time for anyone else in the extended family (There's like 23 of us, cousins that is, and that's not counting their children. That's a lot of people to shun. Only thing she really works hard at..HA!!) I'm not as tight lipped as Grazi, so let’s just say we aren't allowed in the same room. And her kids don't get me started, do not wrong my ass.
Let’s get back on track shall we.
I'm pretty good at figuring out the ending of books, or the main plot, (movies, TV shots, ect...) in the first few chapters, but, though I've connected some of the dots, I couldn't connect them all. Making me happy and frustrate at the same time. I do believe (not 100%) that I have one of the crucial dots connected. I will keep that one to myself, because if I'm right, oh boy!!
I can't wait for the next book, there isn't a release date as of yet, but it will be out this year, I just hope it isn't too late in the year; I might just go a little mad/crazy... good times, good times. Edit: Rebel Moon is out! May 13th 2015!
I highly recommend this series; it's a diamond in rough. Take my word and take a chance, you will not be disappointed.
Happy reading
