Reviews

[Jack Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you like vampires, werewolves and witches, you'll probably like this book. The story is well-written and easy to follow. The characters are very well-developed with plenty of conversation and interaction. Some episodes of violence sneak up on you. This unpredictability adds to the suspense and mystery. The ending sets up the sequel quite well.

The becoming of ELLICIA Wayfield  by Kemdi ik.
ANGELS & DEMONS = FICTIONAL. RIGHT?
Ellicia Wayfield doesn't believe in the supernatural world, despite what she witnessed a year ago, especially now that she's dealing with a lot: the loss of a family member, her upcoming seventeenth birthday, settling down in a new town and being the new kid at her school. Besides, not everything has to be a supernatural mystery. Right?
Often, odd occurrences can easily be explained away. For example, that weird student in one of Ellicia's classes drinks blood, not because he's a vampire, but because he's part of some sort of satanic cult (or because Ellicia was drugged up on hallucinogens and ended up seeing things that weren't real). There's definitely no other explanation for that….
While some things can be explained away, others just can't. They are what they are, just like this new reality Ellicia finds herself in. Then there's also that word, destiny, which can sometimes be a burden. Just ask Ellicia.
A very good read. 4*.
