Heart #1
Heart
Jacob’s Cross High Junior, Anna Cass, has always felt like her life was lacking. Lacking boys, lacking a car – lacking normal family. So when bad-boy Heart appears on her radar she decides that he is the one to fill the void. There is only one problem: Heart is a demon who steals people’s heartbeats to stay alive.
This is not common knowledge. It is the dark and brooding Heart Mavet’s secret he keeps locked tightly away. A curse decided before he was born, Heart’s life changed when he turned 17 and accidentally killed the woman he knew as his mother. Anger at his father who sealed his fate when he had an affair with a demon all those years before pushes Heart to defy the curse and only feed on the terminally ill or elderly.
A relationship with Anna is the last thing he needs, but Anna pursues him with an avid intensity.
But there are bigger secrets lurking around the corners of Jacob’s Cross. Secrets more powerful and deadly than the one Heart holds burden. Secret’s that will prove to endanger Anna’s life and change everything she thought she knew about her own family.

I won this book in a Goodreads first-reads giveaway.
Interesting and relatable characters despite their supernatural qualities. Lots of suspense and tension in the plot. A surprising twist leads to a satisfying ending.

I would firstly like to thank Misha for sending me a PDF copy of this to review.
The full review will be uploaded shortly on http://adailycloud.blogspot.com
I really enjoyed this book, and I'm going to be waiting for the next book Soul to come out for so long :(
This book is pretty much exactly the same concept as the Abandon series by Meg Cabot which I also really like, but this book has some added plot twists which I really didn't see coming at all. The reason it only didn't get a higher rating is because it wasn't as original as it could have been. The writing was also lacking detail at times, and certain things about the story didn't really seem to flow together and I felt like I was reading a different story- which was confusing.
However despite this criticism, I loved the multiple POV's as it allowed us to get an idea of all the characters personalities and thoughts on the situations occurring within the novel.
It was still a really good read, I enjoyed it and will be continuing on with the series.

If you liked Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, then you’ll possibly like this book as well. A fair warning though, the second book in this series hasn’t been released yet and there’s no indication of a release.
This was an easy read with a few bumpy rides. The story isn’t unique or original and is quite predictable from about five chapters in. Told in alternating viewpoints from various characters we get a feel for each character’s personality and thoughts on the occurring events. However, the story lacks consistency as sometimes too much detail is provided versus too little development in other areas.
Multiple point-of-views are always enjoyable to read however it can sometimes make the story confusing and lack flow. Given each character has a different personality the writing style does differ between each chapter. Each chapter was luckily not a continuation of the previous one but a slightly different yet relevant event. Also, I disliked how some characters didn’t get their own POV chapter while others only received one or two chapters.
There are some very interesting characters in this story and there is a lot of unexplored potential for them. Unfortunately our story introduced too many interesting characters but only revolves around two – correction one person. I didn’t connect with our main characters, especially Anna Cass. She seemed very unempathetic, self-centered and blinded by love for the majority of the book, which is quite contrary to her end goal. The remaining characters felt very typical and original and there wasn’t anything unique that stood out.
There is a multitude of genres in this book. There is insta-love, elements of mystery and suspense, supernatural characters, and many more. Given there is just so many genres, none of them really fit into the story quite well. There wasn’t any good reasoning and build-up for the events occurring and they felt more out of place as the story progresses. A lot of the events and details just happen and are accepted without any emotions. This book lacked a lot of other emotions except for “love.”
This book probably wasn’t for me and that’s okay. I couldn’t connect with the main characters and there seemed to be a lot going on without any explanation or build up making things confusing. Although the book wasn’t an original concept, I loved the cover and title which I found were unique. If the next book does ever come out, I’ll probably read it to close out the series but this is definitely not going to be high on my favorites list.
