I could literally taste the blood in my throat, I could feel what each individual character felt, every movement and every feeling-it was both exhilarating and rejuvenating. What will happen mixed with giddy nerves. GON isn’t in the limelight, and it was like my own personal, secret treasure that made adrenaline course through my veins and my heart thump with the anticipation of just I can’t even begin to tell you how refreshing it is to read a book that isn’t on everyone’s radar at this very moment-to not know the outcome, to not know whether people are upset about an ending or not. I grab my chest.Ī world where a boy falls in love with the girl he can never have, where the girl is no longer alive, but in a limbo between death and wherever these tortured souls are supposed to go-A world he must save her from….but where will she choose to go? Will she stay with him, or will she choose to move on…? She crossed over death to find me. There’s no sensation of nourishment hitting my blood.


Something is moving in and out of them, but it isn’t air. This must be how a caught fish feels, pulled up onto a dock, the wood pressing into its gills and eye when nothing has ever pressed against it before. All I could see was Cas-Cas fighting ghosts, Cas pining after Anna, Anna fighting for their love just as strongly as Cas was, Cas’s broken whispers for Anna…it was unbelievable how strongly I fell in love with these characters. I would be typing invoices at work, but I wasn’t really typing invoices at work. It would still be years before I’d go up against ghosts of any real strength-ghosts like Anna Korlov, the girl who could have torn out my spine anytime she liked, but wound up saving me instead.Ī beautiful fantasy created to both appeal to your imagination and tug on your heartstrings, Blake succeeded by invading my mind and clouding my vision-this series was all I cared about and all I could see. What appeals to your taste, your style, your mood, and ultimately what makes you happy.Īnd these books made me so sooo happy. It’s not always about how well known a book is-it’s about how the book is written. What started out as a simple Halloween buddy read became an obsessive impulse to read two books in 3 days. Kendare Blake has earned my respect in the span of a two book series-not an easy thing to do. But this isn’t a game, and that isn’t a promise I should make. I am coming back, is what I was going to say.
