This was a freebie e book. I went ahead and got the whisper snyc for it so I had something to do while I was driving or cooking. This is the first book of a series. It kept my attention enough that I am willing to continue on. The only thing I didn't like was the arupt ending.
Since being introduce to this author last year, I heard about his book and had to read it. I love her other books and was sure that I like this one as well.
Plot: This plot gives the feel of an southern gothic story similar to Beautiful Creatures. There is plenty of folklore, superstitions and of course dark magic being at play. The only thing is, the beginning part of the book was really slow being that there is a lot of foundation build up. Lots of past history much be explained so that the reader can understand what is happening now. With that said, as I continued forward into the story is gradually got better. I really like the past history. It involves the church as well as dark magic just brooding to get out. It kept me entertained till the very last page.
Love: With dark magic at play, you know the love interest is going to be quite difficult. At first, I didn’t understand Natalie indifference to Wyatt. She was so cold and just alone. But as things began to more forward and more was revealed I got it. If anything, this little part made it much for exciting for me. Their relationship is going to be a fight that will either make them or break them.
Ending: The ending is great! It leaves off with plenty to go on for another book or the author could just leave it a mystery. Personally, if there is an second book I would totally pick it up.
Overall, this is a fantastic book. Filled with non-stop action, magic and a love that is strong, Darkly Beings is an upstanding read. Focusing on folklore and bringing legends of the past to life with a creative plot, anyone who likes magic will enjoy this story. Achieving a realistic feel with great effective elements, Darkly Beings is great.
3 1/2 stars. Paradigm has been my favorite of this series so far. The time travels and alternate realities start to make more sense in this book. We also find out how Cooper is from the past and the future. The next book will finally move on to what is happening in that future alternate reality.
After getting hooked on the last book, I couldn't wait to read this one! I love the idea of time travel and well, lets just say the plot is enticing!What I loved most about the book is once again, the amazing plot. Etta has learned more about herself and who she is to become in the future. Things clear up for the reader as many questions were answered. There are so many juicy and yummy secrets spilled that I was filled with happiness. The twist and turns in the book left me reading faster and wanting more.The love interest came together as I suspected and then some. I enjoyed falling into Etta shoes and watching her fall in love slowly. She is precarious yet excited. I can totally tell that once she knows where her heart belongs she just wants to rush there fast but must wait for the right timing. At this point of the book I feel like time travel sucks! Cause so much can happen!! WHYYYYYY!Still, the characters are more awesome as ever and by the end of the book, I am one very happy camper. My time reading this book felt short since I zoomed through it so quickly. Paradox is an unexpected and fantastic book! The thrill of time travel and the prospects of the future are awesome. Paradox offers new ground for me to grace upon that I don't want to leave. Satisfying and exciting, Paradox is awesome!
More cliches, including the mean rich girl who dates the captain of the football team and is also captain of the cheerleading team (isn't it cheerleading SQUAD?), and possessives where there should not be possessives. When referring to a family in general and not something belonging to said family, don't use the possessive. In general, weird grammar at times.Gave up around 10%. Another victim of the Indie Knockout.
