A Beautiful Dark
By: Jocelyn Davies
AHHHHHH I cannot wait to read the second book! (It's in my hand as we speak...type err whatever)
I was skeptical about this book at first, blah blah teenage girl caught between two guys, one good, one bad. Too common. Davies throws a monkey wrench in the mix though, these aren't just two normal dudes, they're specccciiiaaall (can't tell you how, read for yourself!) I could not put this book down. Once you're past the whole introductory information, things start to get interesting Davies writes in such a way that every time one of the guys did something, it tugs at your own heart, as if you're the one who has to choose. And that I guess is the main idea of the book: the choice. Lets just say that the main character Skye has to choose between a lot more than just who she plans on sucking face with for the next 6 months to a year.
Things start to unravel slowly, and unlike other books, even the reader is unaware, there is no foreshadowing, you are just as in the dark as fictional character Skye. So when the truth does begin to seep out, your jaw is going to hit the floor.
I guess you could classify this book as a mystery, fantasy, and definitely romance. But wait till the last 4 pages, you thought you had it all figured out. WRONG! Shocked again the last paragraph of this book throws you for such a loop that you'll have difficulty recovering from unless you have the sequel like directly in front of you (or in your hand as I do...)
This book is perfect for: I'd say anyone because I loved it that much but I'd be lying to you and that's baaad... fantasy lovers. People who love the imaginary world and have no difficulty picturing things like men who can fly... I mean what??? (Hot men too!)
Grade: Freaking awesome! I would read this again and again and again and... you get the point.
Until next time worms-
