Til Death

by Kate Evangelista

Sixteen-year old Selena Fallon is a dreamer. Not a day-dreamer, but an I-see-the-future kind of dreamer. Normally this is not a problem as she has gotten pretty good at keeping her weird card hidden from everyone in her small town. Except from her best friend Kyle and her grandparents, of course. But when Selena dreams of her own rather bloody death, things get a little too freaky even for her. Enter Dillan Sloan. Selena has seen the new guy in a different dream, and he is even more drool worthy in person. Beyond the piercing blue eyes and tousled dark hair, there is something else that draws her to him. Something...electric. Unfortunately, Dillan makes it more than clear that he does not feel the same. They just met, so why would he act like he hates her? When Dillan and Selena are forced together one weekend to work on a school project. Selena prepares to be ignored as usual. But when she stumbles across a few un dead in the backyard, Dillan comes to her rescue and reveals a whole lot more. Not only is he part of a society that hunts otherworldly creatures...she is too. And she is being targeted by a force bigger and darker than anything she ever imagined.
Despite her death dream, Selena is not going to give up easy, especially when she discovers that Dillan might not actually hate her after all.

Reviews

I received an ARC through NetGalley.

Usually, my one-star reviews are really long and detailed, but with Til Death, I don't have much to say. This book just never held my interest, so I'd forget most of what I read as soon as I sat it down. There's nothing new here and nothing that grabbed me and made me want to keep reading.

Til Death started off badly for me as soon as the narration alternated between third and first person. I hate this narrative style. It takes me forever to settle in, if I ever do, and with this I never did. I am just not meant to read books narrated this way, since I'm pulled out of the story at every POV switch. Short chapters meant lots of switching.

The world building was lacking. We're given terms for things, but no explanation. What the heck is an Illumenari? What about the different branches: Legacy, Counsel, Mercenary, Seer, etc? I have no clue! Well, Seers can see the future, but that's about it. The plot also doesn't kick in until the end. Dillan was sent to investigate dead dogs, but that's barely mentioned since he spends most of his time brooding and scowling at Selena. Selena is wanted by some evil person known as Maestro. Why? I don't know.

Til Death was just boring. Nothing happens, and when something does happen, I don't care because I haven't been given a reason to care. And I didn't even know what was suppose to be going on, since nothing is explained that well. The romance is the typical new, broody guy and the beautiful, special girl who thinks she's ugly. They hate each other but make out anyway because of some cosmic connection....and yeah. That's basically it.
