A review by bookishbuddies
Nightshade, by Andrea Cremer

4.0

This book really surprised me! I was really scared that this was going to be one of those books I would have loved had I read it ten years ago, but to be honest: I still really liked this! This is full of the old-school tropes: instalove, love triangle, high school setting, etc. but I found I wasn't too bothered by it. The instalove did bother me a bit and that, along with the fact that I found some things to not be explained very well, caused me to rate it four stars instead of five. Beside that, I really liked this book. I liked the dynamics between the characters, and aside from the instalove, I found the romance to be pretty interesting. I am also super intrigued by the world and how everything works, and I hope to be finding out more about that in the next instalment!
