Book Review - Teardrop by Lauren Kate



Never, Ever Cry …

As I loved the Fallen series by Lauren Kate, I knew I had to get this because if Fallen was any indication to Lauren Kate’s ability to write an awesome book – Teardrop had to be just as good if not better.
And it was just as good, if not better. This is the first book I’ve read which has been a retold version of the Atlantis Myth, obviously I wasn’t expecting it to be exactly the same, what’s the point in that? So I was pretty excited about seeing what she could do with it. Granted I don’t know all that much about Atlantis, but sure lol. 

The first thing that drew me in was the cover – I thought it was beautiful and it captured me immediately. I also loved the one line blurb, even though there is a description on the inside sleeve, but, like I said with Awaken, it just draws me in and make me so interested in finding out what it means and what’s going to happen.  
The overall plot of the story was really good. I honestly didn’t expect that to be the story which made it an even better read – she really made it interesting and added quite a bit of mystery to the story as well and along with the characters she created, it made it a really good read.
Eureka and Ander are the main characters – Eureka is kind of closed off – she doesn’t like to let people get too close to her after what happened with her mother, but she is also smart, funny and strong and will do what it takes to protect the ones she loves. Ander is mysterious, strong and really interesting. He doesn’t reveal too much of himself and that just makes you want to get to know him more or get him to talk more – which made the story quite fun in a way – a wee bit of mystery never done any harm. 

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to see what happens in Waterfall, the next instalment of the series :)
