LOVE LOVE LOVE. Also one of the best discussions we've had, if I say so :). I will be clamoring to get a copy of book 3 as soon as it releases in Australia so that we can discuss some more. I'm totally in awe of this author's ability to keep the tension and intrigue at a maximum. <br /><br />Also, I completely agree with your assessment of your connection to Gaby. I was honestly annoyed with her a few times in SHADOWS, but this time, I was right there with her the whole way through. I also was worried that this story would drag since I'd heard that the major action doesn't get going until 75% in. BUT I was completely riveted the entire time. <br /><br />Rafe and Jude are awesome as well. I can't say enough good about them. I've written half my review, but need to get back to it soon. AHHHH.

I hate waiting! Nice to know this only gets better but I'm hardly surprised with this being an Aussie author. Wonderful review, Keertana! Although, you've made me crave chocolate chip cookies and my thighs do not appreciate that! ;)<br /><br />Btw, I did finish Iron Kissed and it was wonderful! Heartbreaking, shocking, but wonderful! Not sure I'll write a review or not.

O_O But I love the sound of them. I am definitely going to make time for it and see why so many people enjoyed it. I don't do well with non-endings in books, so I am wary of that with this, but there are more than enough redeeming factors for me to still read this. I cannot wait to meet Rafa! He sounds amazing, and just awesome! I can't wait to experience and fall in love with his and Gaby's relationship! I am really looking forward to this now! Great review, Keertana! :D<br /><br />~ Maida<br /><a href="http://loveaffairwithabookreviews.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Literary Love Affair</a> <br />MåїÐ»-(¯`v´¯)-»https://www.blogger.com/profile/17761335857561590565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-66592740412505785772013-08-21T14:14:07.469-04:002013-08-21T14:14:07.469-04:00Honestly, all you had to say was 'Australian a...Honestly, all you had to say was 'Australian author' and I was sold! There's something in the water down there, I swear, but I've found Australian authors to be wonderfully talented. <br /><br />But anyways, this book sounds seiously awesome. Even though the crux of the novel takes a while to emerge, it doesn't really seem like this book is slow because of that. The friendships also seem to wonderful, and you're so right that there's a lack of true friendships in YA. <br /><br />Also, this romance sounds lovely. Like, really. I can not wait to meet this Rafa character...<br /><br />Gorgeous review, Keertana! I'm going to have to be picking up the first book of this series SOON.

That's exactly the kind of relationship I want to read about... and after all, you did use the word tender to describe him. You know me all too well. :)))Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-80456145600348820242013-08-21T12:24:41.042-04:002013-08-21T12:24:41.042-04:00YES I have to agree with everything that you'v...YES I have to agree with everything that you've said here Keertana, I wasn't worried in the slightest when I went to pick this book up, because I had every faith in Weston delivering a superb novel. I'm also so glad that I pre-ordered this, but that also means I have to wait extra longer for Shimmer and that ending almost killed me.

I'm of course hugely nervous about the lack of ending for this one, so I kind of want to wait until Shimmer is out to try these books, but I'm not sure I can wait that long to meet Rafa! I feel like I'm going to be madly in love with his and Gaby's relationship.

If it can maintain my interest until then and score such a great review from you despite that, I'm sold. Lovely review, Keertana! :)Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.com
