Savannah Colbert has never known why she's so hated by the kids of the Clann. Nor can she deny her instinct to get close to Clann golden boy Tristan Coleman. Especially when she recovers from a strange illness and the attraction becomes nearly irresistible. It's as if he's a magnet, pulling her gaze, her thoughts, even her dreams. Her family has warned her to have nothing to do with him, or any members of the Clann. But when Tristan is suddenly everywhere she goes, Savannah fears she's destined to fail.
For years, Tristan has been forbidden to even speak to Savannah Colbert. Then Savannah disappears from school for a week and comes back…different, and suddenly he can't stay away. Boys seem intoxicated just from looking at her. His own family becomes stricter than ever. And Tristan has to fight his own urge to protect her, to be near her no matter the consequences….
Review:
There is an interesting start to the book. The cover is unforgettable and the title fits the book very well. Unfortunately, there are some annoying habits in Savannah Colbert. However, if this book took place in the 1800s, Tristan Coleman would be the handsome knight...
Savannah starts out as a smart, and strong girl. She isn't easily tempted to do bad things by the want to fit in or the want to receive attention. Once Savannah comes back to school after disappearing for a week, she has some inner conflicts about using her "intoxicating" powers. Tristan on the other hand, is not as easily persuaded. He really does fight for what he wants. The only flaw in his character is that he seems to believe that all girls are damsels in distress.
Another problem with this book is that the plot does not seem to advance. Melissa Darnell has set up characters with special abilities that could cause trouble and chaos, but at 100+ pages, nothing epic has happened. Simply, there is a girl who is half vampire, half witch and likes a really popular boy who is secretly trying to help her. The thing that Savannah worries about most is not developing dangerous powers, or starting a war between vampires and witch but is instead worried about how to fit in because she did not make the dance team.
There is an interesting aspect to the book. But to keep the reader's interest piqued, Melissa Darnell needs to get to the rising action faster.
