This book was hard to get into for me. I think it was more that it was not to my taste than the story. I had trouble connecting to the characters, but that happens to me every so often. The storyline was interesting and very different than most of everything I have read in this genre.

This is a bit of a strange review request because the book is 11 years old.

Anyway it tells the story of Evangeline who is half demon and half angel. She lives in a mountain range and lives in a world where there is no sun. The light has been blocked by an angel and so the supernatural run the world.

It was a good story though, a little different from the norm and i quite enjoyed it.

Love the cover artwork, it’s sort of soft haunting but tells you everything you need to know. For a character that isn’t supposed to really feel emotion, the story is loaded with it. Friendships, betrayal, love and a lot of pain. A lot of action and fighting. It’s one of those classic dramatic ones with the characters being honourable with catchphrases and questions during each fight and cue the old fashioned evil laughter. With the scenery and mix of vampires, werewolves, demons and angels, it gave me a sort of castlevania nostalgia. There’s strong themes of good vs evil and the grey area in between. It’s not just Eva who’s struggling with her inner demons. My favourite character was Kieran, expect the unexpected and all that. I enjoyed it.
