Bio:
Alyssa
Rose Ivy lives in North Carolina with her husband and two young
children. Although raised in the New York area, she fell in love with
the South after moving to New Orleans for college. After years as a
perpetual student, she turned back to her creative side and decided
to write.
My Thoughts and Review:
I really (almost) wish I hadn't started
this book.
Why you ask?
Because, it is going to be an awful
long wait until the next one is out and that, well, that just makes
me sad. I didn't want this one to end.
I wasn't ready for it to be over. I
want more. More Levi, more Allie, Hailey, Owen, Jared. more of the
story.
What happens next? Do they make it?
Where does their story go from here?
So yeah, needless to say, I fell in
love with the characters, the writing, the story, the whole thing.
I loved the whole idea, the concept,
the uniqueness that made up the whole world that Ivy created. It was
full of win amd darn it, I want the second book to be out, like now.
I am not even going to go into the
details of this story because I don't want to ruin anything and it is
hard to know what I can and can't say that will give something away.
I will give you a little hint though,
if you like hot leading men with a little bit of an alpha complex, a
heroine that is just your average girl but is feisty and can hold her
own. And yeah, a world full of the paranormal in the spooky city of
New Orleans, then this is the story for you.
The romance in this one was perfect,
not over the top or insta love at all, in fact, the ending will
surprise you even.
No body is perfect in this one, the hot
leading man Levi? He made mistakes, big mistakes in fact but I still
loved him and was still rooting for him, which honestly surprised me.
And Allie, well, she isn't perfect
either. She is stubborn and head strong and isn't always smart either
and that just made me like her all the more too.
That doesn't always work in a story,
but it did in this one.
Ivy did a beautiful job making it all
work. It wasn't perfect and things were left out of the story,
everything didn't end happily and all wasn't explained but, hey, that
makes me want to read the second one all the more. Because, I want
all those questions answered and all the details to be uncovered. And
yes, I want more Levi. I can't help it, he did a crappy thing but he
did it out of love and because of that, my hopeless romantic side
can't hate him.
So well done Ivy, you got me hooked! I
will anxiously be awaiting the release of Focus.
I give this one 4 Stars!!
