>> Warning this
review contains content from all three books <<
Law student Alex is
pretty normal as the average girl goes. After the worries of exams are over she
runs into her crush from high school, Ian. After an encounter with some brutal
strangers she is trusted with the great responsibility of keeping a powerful
lock safe until she reaches the final destination. Along the way, she gets to
know her former high school teacher and her professors’ younger brother. She
came to some shocking realizations about the world she lives in. Sudden
betrayal, action, and adventure lurk around every corner in the series; drama
and romance also make an appearance.
Alex is a nice girl
who is definitely relatable. The story seemed to move along nicely and had just
enough information about the characters, and didn't over-do it with
descriptions about what they were wearing. The book included unexpected twists
and a bit of violence. I didn't want to stop reading. It blended perfectly, and
the plot was well thought out. The books didn't go off topic like similar
stories or throw too much at me so I didn't know what was going on. The
characters progressed wonderfully. They all became different and definitely
grew in their own way.
I felt a little bit of
disappointment when I read about her having multiple powers. I had hoped this
wouldn’t turn into a (oh she's so powerful overnight thing), but instead showed
her struggles with getting along with certain people and with handling her
powers. I loved the shocking revelations, and the sad ending, it was a
wonderful way to complete the series. As more characters were introduced, I
found myself liking them and enjoying what they brought. None felt unneeded to
the story, and they all seemed to go well together.
