Sometimes you just have to take flight.
A summer in New Orleans is exactly what Allie needs before starting college. 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. Meeting a guy is the last thing on her mind - until she sees Levi.
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.
Ill be honest in syaing that I don't really know what drew me to this book, it definately wasn't the cover, I really don't like it... it was probably the fact the blurb mentioned a supernatural society, I have a thing for those and I was pleasently surprised to find that it wasn't the typical vampire/nephilium side of the supernatual spectrum - it was something completely different.
I really enjoyed this book - it was like nothing I've ever read before and that's always a good thing, I loved the characters and I loved the story line.
The plot was paced at a decent speed, it didn't go too fast, where you didn't even know what was happening, and it didn't go too slow, where you were praying for the chapter to end. I really enjoyed the story, a summer away to another city to work for your dad, then you meet a handsome, charming, alluring yet very annoying guy to end up getting caught in the middle of a supernatural power struggle - that's a lot to take in - but Alyssa made it exciting. She made it so that the entire story just flowed, you werent sitting there wondering what in the world is happening and that's one of the main things I loved.
I also loved the supernatural side of it, Pterons. I've never heard of them, but they are very important in this story, and are the main part of it - Levi, his friends, his family, are all Pterons and rule the supernatual society in New Orleans, which no one tells Allie - shocking - and in order to keep peace (so to speak) the heir to the thrown must find a mate, or else the society will be moved to the next city with an heir who has already chosen a mate - that bit was a bit confusing. But I'm sure you can guess where I'm going with this.
Overall I did really enjoy it, the budding romance, the supernatual, the danger and excitment - what more could you ask for in a book?
Sounds like quite an intriguing read!!
