I requested a digital gallery copy of this book without knowing what to expect. Maybe I would have been better prepared if I had seen the cover image of a girl in a red dress with a wing motif in the background. As much as I wanted to like it, it felt like a Twilight derivative with half-breed angels instead of vampires and werewolves. You have the hot, none-human males; one good, one evil, but both dangerous, and a girl who's awkward with boys. The prose is a bit purply as well. All in all, it falls firmly under the "paranormal romance" catagory, not fantasy, and isn't really that unique.
2 stars.
I saw this book advertised as an alternative to Twilight.
ReplyDeleteTo me, an "alternative" to Twilight should be an all-around better book, not a copycat, but ah well.
DeleteWith a title like Halflings, I would expect this to be a book about hobbits. Obviously it's not.
