Livia is the odd one out in her family. Her mother died when she was a baby and she never fully got along with her step-sister. Her boyfriend dumps her and she feels lost and alone. Until the day she meets Natalie.

Natalie has a very outgoing personality and the girls were instant friends. As the story unfolds we are introduced to Natalie's family, which includes Randolph, Augustus, Cassius, Rupert, Will and Ruth. All have individual personalities and are very self confident. Livia often wonders why they like her so much as they seem like complete opposites to her.

As the story progresses, Livia begins to wonder about her new group of friends. Something just doesn't add up with them. She begins to notice little things about them which have her questioning her own sanity at times. Later, she learns that her new friends are Arash. Immortal beings that are born on a day that a comet passes close to the earth.

The prologue of Arash is written in Livia's POV. She's in a mental institution, and you get the impression that she is crazy. That drew me in immediately. I wanted to find out if she was sane or not and who was 'coming to get her' in the spring.

From there, the book switches view points between Livia and her friends. I was a little overwhelmed by the POV changes, and it took me a little while to really settle into the flow of the story. Once I got settled in to the flow I was completely hooked!

I really enjoyed reading Arash, and I am eagerly waiting for the next instalment in the series. I can't wait to see what happens next.
