Masquerade does follow the typical YA PNR format: girl meets mysterious boy, they're inexplicably drawn to each other, he's some kind of paranormal creature who was sent to protect her, they fall in love and have to save the world together, etc. But there's some new and interesting things here. For one, Sam is a creature that I've only encountered a couple of times before, but this is the first time it's actually been a character. There's also this National Treasure meets Twilight vibe going on near the end, so I was interested in seeing where that was going.
I enjoyed Masquerade. While it does read similarly to a lot of other books, there are some refreshing twists along the way. It's Heven's mom that shocked me the most. Let's just say, she's very religious and has her own ideas about what's happening to her daughter. And her solution is not exactly normal. The story does get a bit melodramatic at the end, but I still liked it.
