Sadly, when it comes to her singular interest in Shay, she loses some of her appeal. She is, however, a fierce fighter, doting sister, and protective friend. But by focusing so much on Calla's stomach-flipping feelings of infatuation, lust and (could it be?) first love, Cremer creates a heroine who somehow lacks the substance and spunk of Hex Hall's Sophie, the Mortal Instruments' Clary or Paranormalcy's Evie.Ĭalla isn't particularly clever or funny or smart. She's inexperienced and unbelievably drawn to both her sexy alpha-male fiancé, Ren, and the sweet and passionate mystery guy, Shay. Like many comparable heroines, Calla is a powerful protagonist who is nonetheless insecure when it comes to romance.
Andrea Cremer's first novel is as fast-paced and emotionally driven as you'd expect in a best-selling novel aimed at teen girls.
