A review by jesslyntimm
Hourglass by Claudia Gray
5.0
I can't believe I rated this 5 stars. When I first started this series, I kind of dreaded finishing it. Now I am dying to read the next book and can't due to the fact that my library is slow. . . .
To the point?
This book was phenomenal. I started reading the book early in the morning yesterday (July 28) and finished it around 5 today (July 29). I just couldn't put it down. The character development was fantastic and Gray doesn't ditch any of her characters. Even though Bianca is hiding out with the Black Cross, her old friends are still in the picture.
Raquel is now with Bianca, they joined the Black Cross after their school was destroyed. Raquel found out about the vampires and wants revenge on them and the wraiths that have been haunting her. But Bianca has to hide her secret of being a vampire and being connected to wraiths from the Black Cross. She knows they'd kill her if they found out. After Bianca sent out a email to her parents letting them know she was all right, the email was traced and Mrs. Bethany attacked the Black Cross cell. They took in a prisoner, a well known vampire that left me in tears.
Bianca had been having a hard time staying focused do to the lack of blood and Lucas went to a blood bank to get her some. Raquel and Dana, a Black Cross member, caught Bianca drinking the blood and then the beans were spilled and Lucas and Bianca ran for their lives. While a friend betrayed them and their lack of money they realized they had other choices and the story continues with action, romanceromanceromance, and a huge surprise at the end.
This book didn't have a dull moment. The romance was hiked up times 10, as well as the action. Towards the end, I started skimming through because I just had to know what happened! Vic plays a bigger role in this book than the last and he is just as amazing as ever and I wish I had a Vic!
The only thing I didn't like was when she'd refer to Balthazar or Lucas as her "lover". I mean, she's almost eighteen, yeah. But still a little young to be calling them that? I always thought "lover" should be used in a sentence like. . . . "I'm married but I have another lover". Ya know? Kind of like a way of saying you have another man in your life?
Now, I must sit here and wait until the library brings me my next book. In the mean time, I have other books to read.
