Thank you for giving me this chance to review your book. I can see that this book slots in well with the rest of the series. I am happy that you are achieving your dream to be a writer. I saw in an interview you did that this was something you had always wanted to do. Good luck with the rest of the Sonar series!

Many intriguing elements including the romance and the plot developments that keep you guessing what happens next. Seems like the main character really develops and I would be interested in reading.

A paranormal romance revolving around the relationship between a young girl and a mysterious boy sounds like enticing. Well done to the author for managing engage the reader. It sounds like a run of the mill romance, so it is good to hear it isn't one. Too bad the conversations felt flat. I am glad you still enjoyed the book. Thank you for the review!

Meh, sounds a bit stale I suppose? Maybe I'm jaded from an overwhelming amount of novels with a teen girl falling in love with a supernatural. Tale as old as time methinks. Thanks for this review!

Although I am not a particular fan of romance novels, I found that this story was very entertaining. Only from a sampling and without having read its counterparts in the Sonar series, the author is able to create a stand alone novel that is able to drawn the reader in. Well done.

Fantasy/Romance has been done a lot, so it's refreshing to hear that this is at least somewhat different!

This seems like an interesting read. I normally don't mind young adult books if they're intelligent and have substance like a John Green novel. Hopefully this one is like that.

Good review to uncover the story line of the book where a teenager Melanie ends with a relationship with a boy who lives with lot of secrets. Interesting to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This doesn't sound like a book for me. I don't lean toward novels geared toward an ambiguous audience. With the conversations falling flat and the Australian that seems suspiciously American, I cannot see myself enjoying this one. Thanks for an excellent review!

I just read the initial few pages and thanks to your review, got a complete idea about the plot. The writing style is good. It could keep me attracted and allowed for a quick read. Anyway I do not see any problem in mentioning sexual relationship of a young couple and their underage drinking because I dont think fictional characters put that much contribution to change a behavior of someone who has his/her own principles. Anyway a good and a honest review 👍👍

Thanks for the wonderful review, but I will not be reading this; I don't like romances, paranormal or otherwise, and I am SO through with the whole "somebody's got a secret and said secrets lead to all kinds of intrigue and so on". Still, I am really glad that you liked it; that really shines through through your review.

It’s nice to see a review that takes the content of the book and gives an age recommendation. I read the first two chapters of this, and I was thinking it felt like a young adult novel, but I also felt like it would head toward a sexual relationship. I don’t know how much in detail the author goes into that having only read the first two chapters, so this part of your review was helpful to me. A book with high school kids waiting until marriage is rare these days, but your comments on precautions is also relevant. Thank you for this insightful review.
