My Review: I loved this book. I could not read it fast enough. I read Purpose right after it.

I could not read these books fast enough. Yes I finished them A LONG time ago. I have no clue why I did not post my review sooner. I think I went on book strike after I read these for a bit because they were so on my mind! Seriously...do not even start Promise unless you have Purpose sitting right beside you or you will be VERY UPSET with yourself. Now onto the book!

I love paranormal. I love ALL paranormal. I love ALL PARANORMAL that has hot characters in it. Guess what? YIP...you got it. This series has it all! This book made me sit on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Author Kristie Cook sucks you into her world and does not let you go. The world is built inside your head as you read each word, each page, each chapter.

Per the blurb on the back of the book "...are a match made in Heaven and in Hell". This book is incredible. The story unravels as Alexis finds out who she really is, who her mom really is and who her hot new boyfriend really is. Alexis is torn in a million different directions as what is right and what she wants are totally different things. There are some very intense and intimate chapters of this book (hot as hell if you must)!

As Alexis learns why she writes the stories she does, as she sorts through the lies and the new found truth, will she find out who she is meant to be or will she succumb to who she could be. The choice of Heaven and Hell has never been harder.

The characters in this book are so well rounded. They come to life on the pages. Author Kristie Cook makes you feel like you actually know them and you feel everything they feel.

It is hard to give this book a good solid review without spoilers. There is so much I want to say about it but I am unable to as you have to experience the book yourself.

In looking for my next read, I saw this book, read the description and decided to take the risk and give it shot. I'm glad I did.

If you have ever had abandonment issues; If you have ever felt like an outcast; If you have ever loved someone so much it scared you, hurt you, or enveloped you; If you have ever lost someone you that in essence felt like a part of you, and then felt as though only a fraction of your former self was all that remained when you lost them, you will relate to Alexis and the characters in this book.

I was surprised at how the author was able to bring forth such emotional depth in the simplest way - by using a simplistic approach. Nothing too verbose, nothing too drawn out, but with a subtle use of the right words, you are painfully aware of what life is like for Alexis and Tristan.

She also brings humor to the table and I found myself smiling several times while reading...I also laughed out loud to the point of crying at one part of the book, and ultimately also felt like crying.

A romance finally blossoms for Alexis after she meets a sensationally handsome and mysterious man and the way the author detailed the development of the relationship was refreshing. I liked the pace. I liked the way the characters were developed - both in time and in a way that allowed for both to become more familiar at almost the same pace. I liked the way there was enough suspense regarding Tristan so as to keep my interest piqued. I was pleasantly surprised at the entire book.

It's a good romance story with a little supernatural twist, and some steamy moments thrown in for good measure.

To cut to the chase...get it...now I'm off to read "Purpose".
4.5 Stars. This book opens with a lot of action, and it really sucked me in. I did feel a little like the very first scene of this book was a little disjointed from the rest of it; but, after reading the second book in this series it makes sense how it all fits together. The whole book has a very quick pace, which I enjoyed for the most part. Although at the beginning there were a few scenes that I wouldn't have minded if they'd been slowed down a bit.

Cook has wonderfully descriptive scenes, and fun sassy dialogue. I loved her main character Alexis. She is an introverted type, partly because of all the moving around she did as a kid. She never had time to make close friends. She also at times has low self-esteem, maybe again because she never had a chance to really connect with anyone, and maybe partly because of things she went through as a teen. Alexis has been an outcast, a freak, and rejected, and I found myself completely able to relate to her. And, she's got sass too. She's introverted but also independent and she channels her feelings into her writing. I liked that she had this talent; it made her feel like a very well rounded character. Also, she's not weak; she's a strong young woman. She just prefers to keep to herself.

There were times when I found Alexis a little too naive. I just wish she had explained better why she never looked deeper into what she was. Also, there were some things that were obvious to me, but she was completely oblivious to them. So, while I liked her character I felt she wasn't the most perceptive and that her lack of perception was somewhat unbelievable.

Tristan was also a wonderful character. From the very beginning I found him fascinating. He was confidant and very forward but also down-to-earth. However, he could be a little cheesy at times. For the most part I loved his character, but some of the things he said to Alexis, like constantly following up her name with "my love" was a little too much for me. I also hated that Alexis was always referring to Tristian as "yummy" or "delicious" as if she were eying up a candy bar. Despite these little annoyances however, their relationship really felt like it clicked to me. It felt real and felt like it truly grew. I believed Alexis when she said she was drawn to him and could feel that they were truly falling in love. I also liked that their relationship took time to develop.

This was a wonderful love story, and while there were also some unique ideas being used there were also defiantly some overdone plot devices as well. I can see why some people compared this to Twilight. Both Promise and Twilight are about this unyielding, forever love that two people experience, and they both involve supernatural creatures dealing with how to control and hide their powers. Because of this there are some similar themes between the books. But, I have to say, this book as a whole was very different from Twilight.

Also, I was bothered by the fact that some people didn't think this was YA, but that's mostly because I think a lot of people have a really screwed up definition of what YA stands for. YA - young ADULT. This book is not for kids. I would give it a 17+ rating because there are some really steamy scenes, but that's still YA for me. At 17 you're a young adult. And on that note, the romance in this was hot!

One thing that was odd to me about this book was that Alexis wonders if her mother and Tristan will hook up. This just seems like a strange thing to wonder about your mother. Did her mother often date much younger men? Obviously as we learn more about the nature of just what Alexis, Tristan and Sophia are this question isn't as weird, but in the beginning before Alexis knows what she is I find this to be an odd thought for her to have. Later it's also clear that she and her mom are very close, they are almost more like sisters or friends then mother and daughter, but I think at first this really threw me off.

Where I had some problems with this book was at the end. I liked the way the plot went, but the story lost me a little. I didn't feel Tristan's sacrifice, and I'm not sure I entirely understood his decision. He seemed to go off and walk right into exactly what they were avoiding. I just wish the ending had sucked me in a little more, but for whatever reason it didn't. All together though this was a great read and after finishing it I immediately picked up its sequel Purpose.
My Review I loved this book. I could not read it fast enough. I read Purpose right after it.
