The Shadow Prince by Bree DeSpain

The Shadow Prince (Into the Dark)

by Bree DeSpain

Haden Lord, the disgraced prince of the Underrealm, has been sent to the mortal world to entice a girl into returning with him to the land of the dead. Posing as a student at Olympus Hills High—a haven for children of the rich and famous—Haden must single out the one girl rumored to be able to restore immortality to his race.
 
Daphne Raines has dreams much bigger than her tiny southern Utah town, so when her rock star dad suddenly reappears, offering her full tuition to Olympus Hills High’s prestigious music program, she sees an opportunity to catch the break she needs to make it as a singer. But upon moving into her estranged father’s mansion in California, and attending her glamorous new school, Daphne soon realizes she isn’t the only student in Olympus who doesn’t quite belong.
 
Haden and Daphne—destined for each other—know nothing of the true stakes their fated courtship entails.  As war between the gods brews, the teenagers’ lives collide. But Daphne won’t be wooed easily and when it seems their prophesied link could happen, Haden realizes something he never intended—he’s fallen in love. Now to save themselves, Haden and Daphne must rewrite their destinies. But as their destinies change, so do the fates of both their worlds.
 
A pulsating romance of epic proportions, Bree Despain’s The Shadow Prince will leave her fans breathless for the next book in the Into The Dark series.

Okay so I don't review as much as I should but in this case I must. I picked up this book from my library I was just browsing and the title is what interest me. I read the inside cover and was like well I'll take it home. It was so good. I was never bored while reading it and when I wasn't reading it I was thinking about it. I don't understand the negative reviews people say it's too much standard YA. Which I completely don't understand this book was extremely unique in my opinion, I have honestly never read anything like it and I read a lot of Ya like seriously go look at my shelf. All I'm saying is so far this is one of my favorite reads this year and I can't wait to go see if my library has the next book in. :) do yourself a favor and read this book.
