This book was non-stop fantastic!
I purchased Ethereal a while back along with other books, but after finding out what a friendly and kind person Addison Moore is, I moved it to the top of my to-read list. I'm not sorry I did!
I first want to say that I love her ability to create a complete mental image with minimal, yet extremely descriptive words. I was transported to Paragon Island right along with Skyla, and lived her emotions like a linked twin.
Next are the characters. I hate stories where the main character is whiny and weak, or annoying and bossy. Skyla was none of those things. She has a distinct personality, beautifully colored by Mrs. Moore's laugh-out-loud wit. I also hate love interests who are simply eye candy - no personality to go with their ripped abs and sexy smiles. Mrs. Moore kindly delivers with heartthrobs Logan and Gage - each distinctly separate, yet with equally appealing personalities. In a word? Yum!
Finally, the plot. I really enjoyed the revelations throughout the book. I won't mention any spoilers here, but the plot moves along at a brisk pace, the action scenes have you holding your breath, and there are a few surprising twists. Other fast-paced books I have read left me confused, annoyed, or feeling like the author threw in a bunch of irrelevant junk just to keep things "busy." Not so with this one. Each action scene holds purpose, not the least of which is increasing the suspense.
The only "issue" I have with this book is actually a "non-issue." Had I read Ethereal before the sequel Tremble was released, I would be pulling out hair right now waiting for the next one!
If you are a fan of YA paranormal romance this is a must have.
(Ethereal and Tremble are available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble)
