I did while reading Parrish. Like major goosebumps.
I loved Sadie, Jefferson, Deacon and Brighton’s character. They were all written in such a way that you couldn’t help but like them and hate their character flaws.
The romance between Sadie and Jefferson was scary and sweet at the same time. Scary because Jefferson is intense and very weird. Sweet because it was written as being one of those “I couldn’t help but fall in love with him” romances. I have a mental image of Jefferson with huge alien-like eyes from the author’s description. She described him as having “big owl eyes” and my imagination kinda took off with it.
The plot was great too. I loved that Sadie, Jefferson, Deacon, and Brighton are paranormal investigators. That is something that I have always wanted to do but have been too chicken. The excitement of them hitting paranormal hotspots, and having a cross-country trip at the same time leapt off the pages.
The ending was perfect and it had a huge twist that was hinted at when the foursome was in Boston. I didn’t see it coming and it threw me for a loop. I actually put the book down and stared into space trying to process it for a minute, it was that much of a shock.
How many stars will I give it? 5
Will, I read it again? Yes, and I hope to read the next book. I am hooked on the characters. I need to see what happens to Sadie, Jefferson, Deacon, and Brighton.
Will I recommend it to family and friends? Yes. This would be a great book for those who are just starting to read the fantasy/paranormal/romance genre.
Age range: Teen on up.
