I also was very thankful that Ivy keeps her novel clean. I know how it feels to be let loose and trying to turn over a new leaf, so I can’t hold it against her.
However, she has just graduated from high school, she’s 18, has no supervision, and has just ended a long relationship. I really do like Allie, but many times throughout the novel I found her making rash and ill-advised decisions, which turned me off a bit. I feel exactly the same way Allie does when everything comes to light, but I am also a little worried that her defenses will fall away too easily as Levi attempts to smooth talk his way out of this situation. But truth be told, I’m very proud of Allie’s reaction. My love for Levi was once again suspended, though, when he went ahead and did something that angered me to no end, something I’m not okay with by any means, and neither is Allie, as is evidenced from the last 30% of the novel. Yet, as the book progressed, Levi grew on me a little, and I began to enjoy his and Allie’s whirlwind summer romance, especially once I knew more about Levi’s background and noted that Allie was strong in her own right. Levi is arrogant, and he’s always turning the conversation into something sexual, so I was worried that I actually wasn’t going to like the novel since Allie seemed to be giving in to him too easily, which is a big no-no for me as I’m a supporter of the strong female lead. He is the representation of the cocky male who knows he looks good and won’t take no for an answer, and this persona has never impressed me in real life or fiction. The paranormal aspect of this novel was extremely unique, and Ivy does a great job whetting readers’ appetites I can’t wait for more because she’s only just begun to scratch the surface in terms of who the Pteron really are and what power they hold over the entire paranormal world. Set in New Orleans, Ivy places her fictional characters in a place that exudes otherworldly power, and I loved that Ivy really gave readers a taste of the area and culture, weaving it into the story alongside her interesting plotline. Unable to resist the infuriating yet alluring Levi, Allie finds herself at the center of a supernatural society and forced to decide between following the path she has always trusted or saving a city that might just save her.Īlyssa Rose Ivy has done a phenomenal job creating a paranormal world that really draws the reader in. Meeting a guy is the last thing on her mind-until she sees Levi. Accepting her dad’s invitation to work at his hotel offers an escape from her ex-boyfriend and the chance to spend the summer with her best friend. From Goodreads: Sometimes you just have to take flight.Ī summer in New Orleans is exactly what Allie needs before starting college.
