Egmont USA has been extremely gracious to allow me to read a copy of this novel, via Netgalley, prior to its release on September 27th, and I must say this is an amazing book. I am thankful that I was able to read it early, and now I’m dying for the sequel, and the first book hasn’t even technically released yet! Faegen is a very talented writer that pulled me into her novel through her superb prose and wonderful storyline.
To be honest, I was originally interested in this book because of the beautiful cover. The synopsis sounded okay, but it didn’t really pull me in and I was a little afraid I wouldn’t care for the book. In my personal opinion, the synopsis doesn’t do this novel justice, by any means, and I was extremely pleased to find out that my original skepticism was unfounded. This is a beautiful novel. Faegen has created a truly riveting story that I personally found to be unique and refreshing, and I am absolutely, one hundred percent, in love with Jax. He is HOT! The characterization is amazing throughout the entire novel and I feel like I personally know Jax and Sasha. The suspense and anxiety within the novel was palpable, and I could literally feel my heart beating faster as the book unfolded, diving deeper into the scary realms of cultish activity. This is a great novel, all around, however, reader beware: there is an intense sex scene within the novel that I personally didn’t think belonged. An allusion to it would have been fine, but this is quite graphic and I was disheartened that Faegen decided she needed to go there in her writing. I thought the book was perfect without it. Call me old school, but I can’t knowingly give this to a young adult because this type of graphic sensuality isn’t something I think they need to read about—they get enough of that on TV and in music as it is. That aside, though, this is a great novel! Four and a half stars.
