Not for me.

After reading a lot of positive reviews for this, I was excited to start!! But I’m baffled as to how bored I was with it!! I expected a fast paced, engaging read and what I got was a book that basically focused on a teen romance with a vampire. It had echoes of Twilight as well.

So the book focuses on Echo Navarri, daughter of famous archaeologists Alice and Peter Navarri. On a dig with them, her twin, Midnight, goes missing without a trace and Echo is devastated. After a fruitless search, Echo’s parents send her home to her aunt. There Echo meets Thorn Vega, a mysterious boy who she feels drawn to. As she dig deeper into who he is, she is drawn into a world she never knew existed.

I didn’t particularly like Echo. She was so….. boring maybe. I don’t know!! I wanted her to be more proactive and less like she was. I have to say that I hated the insta love/connection she felt for Thorn. It was just so… ugh and overdone. I didn’t care whether they got together or not.

While reading, I felt like maybe I dozed off or something, because a lot of the time I was confused as to what was happening and had no clue what was going on, so I pressed back on the audio only to realise that I hadn’t missed anything. It was just written like that! It felt very disjointed at times and honestly, at that point I didn’t care for the story or the characters to go back and try to immerse myself again. Maybe it was just me, but I found it to be boring and predictable and not something I would read again.

Sarah Puckett read it well. She was clear and easy to listen to and had a few tones and voices for the characters.
