Summary:
Brilliant but proper and predictable, Rosamund Hall has lived her life buried in universities and libraries, discounting the legend of the Chosen as a myth. Until Aaron Eagle shows up at her door. Aaron both unsettles and enthralls her. But she can't resist his offers of clandestine visits to private museums, the hunt for a mysterious prophecy, or a makeover that unleashes her untamed soul. With the promise of a love that will defy fate itself, Rosamund is forced to confront the truth about the Chosen... and the dangerous man who sweeps her into a world of dark secrets.
My Thoughts:
This book started off a little slow for me and was quite boring in the beginning. I started to get interested maybe 2/3 of the way in the book. Then it got really really good!! Dodd made up this world where there are humans, the Chosen, and the Others. The humans are just humans but the Chosen and the Others are two species destined to hate eachother and war against eachother. The Chosen is the good side and the Others are the opposite...
One aspect that made the book enjoyable was the strange relationship between Rosamund and Aaron. Rosamund is plain and isnt really interested in men. She's only interested in museums and reading and adventure, which unsettles Aaron. Aaron thinks Rosamund is plain in the beginning but then tries to win her affection time and time again. Ofcourse Rosamund being Rosamund doesnt understand anything about guys so she doesnt get what Aaron is trying to do.
This book had an interesting plot and steamy love scenes but all in all it wasnt one of my favorites...
So... go to your local bookstore or order online just as long as you dont make this book full of forgotten pages.
See you soon!
