Katy has always been more of an introvert, interesting herself mostly in her books, and when she has finished reading them, reviewing them on her blog. She was raised in Florida, but because of a tragic incident that had befallen her family, her mother ends up working double time and has moved herself and her only child, Katy, to a small town in West Virginia.
Katy, at first, is not that excited about her new life. To her, West Virginia seems small and uneventful, a place that lacks the interest and big town that she wants. She maintains these bitter thoughts until she sees her new neighbor. It doesn't take that long for Katy to realize that he has to be the hottest guy she has ever seen in her whole life-including the hot cover models on her books. She held this high opinion of him for about two seconds before Daemon opened his mouth.
Turns out Daemon is really a jerk, and has nothing nice to say to Katy even when she is only asking for directions to the nearest shop. He directs her away disinterestedly, telling her that it is never a good time for her to stop by at his house. She leaves, feeling upset and angry at his bad attitude.
What Katy does not know is that Daemon’s sister, Dee, is a very nice girl who makes a run to the grocery store just to meet Katy and greet her enthusiastically. Dee only wants a friend who will not run away from her, and Katy is glad to have a friendship with Dee even though her brother had become Katy’s worst enemy. Katy tries to avoid Daemon most of the time, and Katy and Dee enjoy their seemingly carefree friendship...but then the dark secret of Daemon and Dee’s true identity is revealed.
Oh, what can I say?! I LOVED this book! I read the whole thing within a day, not being able to stop, and when I had too, I felt detached in that sort of way that only happens when your book really gets to you. To be honest, I think that it may have been the way that Daemon made me keep wanting to read, because his personality was so rude that I knew there had to be some sort of motivations behind his behaviors. That, or he was simply being rude for no good reason and was going to loosen up someday. Though he ticked me off, I couldn't help but fall for his strange charms and good looks a little bit. He gets better through out the book, and though the major conflict between him and Katy settles down, I couldn't stop reading! The romance becomes a bit more distinct near the end, though it seems that they are both a bit attracted to each other in the beginning of the book. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes a good romance, fantasy, and very interesting characters. I know it sounds a bit cliche, but trust me, it's a good read.
