Es un 3.5 en realidad.
Me gustó mucho, pero no me encantó. La historia es demasiado buena y espero que mejore en los siguientes libros.
Definitivamente quiero un vecino como Daemon.

This book and the rest of the books in this series is what actually got me into fantasy books!!

*Big Dreamy Sigh* That was just awesome.

"Kat wasn’t cute. She wasn’t even sexy. She was beautiful—absolutely breathtakingly beautiful."

"There was something strangely intimate about slow dancing. Not the bumping and grinding kind that left little to the imagination, but this—two bodies melded together, drifting in the same beat, touching in all the right places. Intimate."

Oh Daemon..you big softie.

Merged review:

I've noticed on here that a lot of people are an annoyed with the similarities to Twilight. And yes they are definitely there. Don't get me wrong, I loved Twilight, I thought it was a beautifully written love story IMO.
But, if like me, you thought Bella was a bit of a wimp and needed a bit of back bone and sassyness then say HELLO to Katy. A normal teenage girl who curses and flips the bird and has hormones.
And if you were more Team Jacob than Edward say HELLO to the delicious Daemon.
There's no insta love here more like insta lust/hate. As the story develops you are totally with Katy in loving to hate Daemon. I laughed out loud quiet a few times.
SO yeah there's nothing particularly new here but I loved how it was executed.
My only problem is that I kinda wished I had found this series after they'd all come out and I could read, no devour them one after the other. Waiting till May may actually finish me off!
And please please please little baby Jesus, don't let there be a love triangle, I don't think my heart could take it.

This wasn’t bad. Definitely enjoyed it a bit very different from normal. Not sure if I will continue with the series though.

I enjoyed this book a lot for YA. This is my first book from this author and I am very excited to read more from her. I loved the characters, the plot, drama, and I enjoyed the bonus chapters. The only thing I didn’t like was the random jump chapters for the next book🙃

Highly recommend ❤️

2/24/21-- I'm only editing this because as-is, my old review didn't make it clear that it was, in fact, from 2016. Anyway, I've been in a weird guilty pleasure mood, and thought it might be advantageous for me to finally attempt to finish this series, but it's been long enough since I read it that I forgot a lot of stuff, so I downloaded all the audiobooks from my library and zoomed through book 1 today at work. Tomorrow-- book 2! (if I can finish it)

-----------
Thoughts after first read:
Until I put together my full thoughts, check out Steph's review (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/218682666) because she describes my feelings on this book perfectly.

Initial first thoughts after reading:
IDK what rating I'm going to give this but I definitely understand why this series is so addicting. Good thing I have the whole series checked out from the library...
