Falling Under

Falling Under - I liked this book. It wasn't the greatest book I've read, but I found it very enjoyable. There was enough fantasy and passion/romance to keep me from wanting to put this book down. Gwen Hayes is a very good writer and tells a story well. This story was very captivating. I liked Theia and her best friends Donny (Donatella), and Amelia. They all were good characters and the three of them kept the story moving at a nice pace. My favorite character was Hayden (of course) because I'm a sucker! I liked the demon side of him as much as the sweet, boyish side. I liked going back and forth to Hell. It brings a whole to meaning to the saying "to Hell and back". I enjoyed the relationship between Theia and her father, watching her distant father try so hard at their very distant relationship was heartwarming. I like when scenes in a book make me really feel something for the characters. For some reason father/daughter relationships tug at my heartstrings more than anything. I think this book was well worth it. I hate buying books and not really caring for them. Or worse, not finishing the book, what a waste of money. Talk about buyers remorse. That did not happen with Falling Under, no remorse here. So yes, read this one... it's worth it. "My feelings for you lamb ... I swear I never want to hurt you, but I don't know how to rein myself in. The jealousy, the joy, the lust ... one second of heedlessness and I could ruin us both, destroying everything and everyone around us." ~ HaydenP.S. I've read some reviews that Falling Under is a little Twilight-esk, since I've never read that series ... you be the judge.Amyhttp://ReadingTeen.net/
