My opinion:
Divine Grace, the third grade high school student, meets a friend's art lesson - Daniel, who disappeared several years earlier. Her family is not pleased with his return, a brother of Grace - Jude, is quite angry that reason, although once these two guys combined friendship. Why Grace relatives react in such a way that the emergence of Daniel? Does this have something with the events that took place that night when Daniel disappeared, and Jude was found outside the house covered in blood? One thing is certain, the family Grace does not wish the girl to be maintained any contact with Daniel. But she is fascinated by him and pulls her to him, but Jude forces the Grace promise to be kept away from Daniel. But "the problem lies with the promises that once you submit this, it is not strong, so it does not break." *
Yes, in general, you can submit the story of Bree Despain's novel - "The Legacy of Darkness." I do not know whether Mrs. Despain has plans to spend only two books, a trilogy or a series, but this position is the first part. The book must be quite popular lately paranormal romance genre, and is entirely based on the typical pattern of such items. American high school, an ordinary girl, a boy with a dark secret, love, danger and mystery. Yes, all the necessary elements of such paranormal Here you will find romance.
Through a book (I will not give its title and advertising to do Edward and Bella] ->) to discourage this type of position and avoided them as much as possible arc. But lately his bias and say a firm NO when the opportunity arose to reach for the "Legacy of Darkness", I used it without thinking. So quietly admit that I wanted even more to warn of such books. Will it happen?
Amazingly (especially mine) really. First of all, I set up the annoying characters. The author, however, entangled my trick and set up his characters are easy to swallow, interesting and even not so stereotypical. And above all, not irritating me on every page. Grace - nice and smart girl, whose passion is painting. What was my relief when he started to make calf eyes and groan at every step to Daniel. Her behavior at times, however, sometimes illogical and infantile way of thinking, but it was not widespread. Daniel, in turn, from the beginning irritated by his attitude and confidence, however, gained on closer acquaintance. In his creation of interesting was that I was not quite sure if it is as it seems to me.
Another went for anyone to anticipate my story. Well ... just as I suspected turned out to be a typical clichés, but with some interesting elements. Several times, even I was surprised by the solution of a thread. However, easily guess the next event and how the book might end.
Despite its predictability, "Legacy of Darkness," I read really well. Another trick you Despain. I was prepared for lengthy action, but it was moving smoothly forward. You could say that the following pages to read themselves. I was well prepared for a multi-page "achy and Italy," Grace, claiming a miraculous Daniel. Meanwhile, they were limited to a minimum. The whole is written accessibly and correctly and in a way to encourage reading. Upset However, I inclusions in Chapters By placing the action or its duration, such as: "After dinner," Dinner, "" Later, "" Breakfast Break, "" What happened after the break, "and the like. For me it was completely unnecessary, since without a problem could have been guessed. Those titles are sometimes made me very annoyed, because suggested something that is obvious.
I think the book is missing that "something" to wyróżniałoby it compared to other position. Kind of fun to read it, is interesting but not memorable. Czytadła the impression of light, at a time such that after reading no longer preoccupied our thoughts. Some books have such items, events or characters, that when reading I happen to stop reading and chatter with delight about my husband. In "Legacy of Darkness," I missed just such an item characteristic only for this item.
I was absolutely sure that the "Legacy of Darkness" even more discouraged me to these books, but it did not happen. In spite of my sincere intentions. A or encouraged? I think not quite. It gave a chance, however, another book, this falling within the genre. Well I read this book, but so to speak - is not crazy. I do not regret the time that I paid to read this item, making it fun to relax and zrelaksowałam.
