I'll give you a brief synopsis of the book. Katy moves to West Virginia with her mother three year after her father dies of cancer. Her neighbors consist of Dee and Daemon, the twins. Daemon is moody and controlling and Dee is bubbly and eager to make friends. Katy gets attacked by an old man (he asks her for help with his car and she complies, obviously no one told her not to talk to strangers. Daemon comes to her rescue. He does this a few times (it's kind of creepy but you get passed that he's pretty) and eventually he freezes time. He becomes a giant light bulb too (he doesn't sparkle, he glows.) Then people (well not people) start hunting Daemon trough Katy, Daemon freaks out and commands her to stay close to him. It's very twilight-y.
It's cheesy, I know. But it's cheesy in a way that makes you chuckle not cheesy as in hide in a corning and cringe for centuries. I enjoyed it. I feel like the author intended for it to be cheesy but fun. There is not pretense that this book is serious. It's purposefully silly.
I really loved Katy and Daemon's banter. Dee and Katy's relationship was also really sweet and lovable. Another thing that I really enjoyed is that Katy is a book fanatic. She has a book blog and she posts vlogs too. Oooh I really liked Lesa and Carissa too. Mostly because they are exact replicas of my best friend and I. Her name is Liza and mine is Nerissa. It was so close. Just four letters off. Lesa is boy crazy and full of innuendos whilst Carissa is more focused on school. So I really loved finding bits and pieces of myself in all the characters.
What did you guys think? Did you loathe the cheesiness or was it just right for you?
I especially liked this: " "You're jealous of Simon?" I lowered my voice "Of a human? For shame, Daemon" " I giggled a lot throughout this whole book and I've already started Onyx because I have the super sparkly bind up edition.
