Night Is Mine by M. L. Buchman
4.0
The introductory part or you could say the first couple of chapters were so well written that it had me instantly on the edge. The lead character Emma was a delight! It was so well written in the beginning that I was sure it would be the best book that I read this year.
But.... Yes! there's a but and I'm extremely miffed about this! But as soon as the plot changes setting the book starts losing the thrill and the grip. You start questioning the reasoning behind some of the changes. It gets more frustrating after you get to know about the potentials of the characters revealed over a period of time.
One other thing was that though you get to know a basic overview of Emma's childhood and upbringing there's a lot more you yearn to know and a lot more that the author could have given to you there as a part of the story. You never get to know that part though there are hints of it through out the book. It would have made for a great background and shed light on how the character developed.
Then there's Mack, the character development was okay-ish. Could have been a lot better.. We don't get to know a lot of the back story but he fits right into the story and I could never find anything amiss so I'd say he was fluidly written.
Apart from all this, the ending was just as thrilling as the beginning was! I'd say that the ending completely redeemed this book for me and made it a worthy read! The chemistry between the characters is great. The side characters are well-written.
But what takes the cake is the lead character Emma. The way the author has portrayed her is remarkable.
