"There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at Sword & Cross boarding school in Savannah. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are screwups, and security cameras watch every move.
Except Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce - he goes out of his way to make that very clear. But she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to flame, Luce has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret...even if it kills her."
What I have to say about it:
It's different, for sure. At first I was ready to dismiss it as a silly, shallow love story. But now that I've thought about it a little bit, I can't really support the "shallow" aspect of it. I mean, there's nothing shallow or silly about soul mates, right? But I will say that there isn't much of a plot outside the love story. Or lack of love at the beginning. Even the battle at the end was a bit anti-climactic.
I like the cover, though. It's pretty sweet.
Final thoughts? If you're looking for some romance (of the impossible kind), then this is a good book. If you're looking for plot or character development? Don't hold your breath. Maybe the next book will have more of that, but I'm not planning on reading it.
