On the second Sabbat of Twelfthmoon, in the city of Weep, a girl fell from the sky. Her skin was blue, her blood was red.
From the from the opening to the last page this story sucked me in and didn't let me go. Granted it was slow at times but the descriptions were so intoxicating. It could easily have been too poetic or too much but the author always seemed to toe the line just right. Recommended if you're in the mood for a dreamy romantic fantasy.

"'You're a storyteller. Dream up something wild and improbable,' she pleaded. 'Something beautiful and full of monsters.'
'Beautiful and full of monsters?'
'All the best stories are.'"

this book is the perfect summer read that you'll want to read all day in the sun. this book has it all, some emotional parts, some that will make you laugh out loud, lots of light hearted moments and the hot steamy scenes making the pages set alight. I loved the characters and how the interacted with each other, the banter between them was very well written. this is definitely a fantastic romantic read that you'll want to keep reading till the last page. this author has a fab way of writing so that you just eat up every page written. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

A good but unremarkable read
This is one of those books that I struggle to say much about. It was a nice, easy read but was ultimately very unremarkable. It was written fairly well, and the two main characters of Kate and Nova were engaging and well developed. I think the main problem with this story was that whilst the plot isn’t bad, it’s a bit predictable and not particularly interesting. Nova’s story is the more interesting of the two, and her outlook on life once she gets her vision back along with her ‘rules of seeing’ are fascinating and good to read. I just wish the plot could have concentrated more on this rather than developing into a typical romantic thriller type story.
