Lailah - Nikki Kelly
This book was interesting. It was basically about a girl who was very different from what she thought she was. She had lived many lifetimes so she knew she was different. She just didn't know how different. There was a love triangle in the book. However the author made it pretty clear who she wanted the main character the end up with.
The Characters
Lailah - Lailah was a confused girl in a confused surrounding, slowly finding out who she is. I found her to be a strong character but she had lapses in judgement that made her more real to me. Nobody can be perfect after all. She was in a situation where there were vampires and angels. Nobody can get their head around that in one sitting. She constantly tried to be someone else during the course of the book but then realised there is nothing better than being herself.
Jonah - Jonah was the vampire that Lailah did not want to have feelings for but did. She was forbidden but he ended up falling in love with her all the same. I liked Jonah. I found that even though he did not know the whole truth about Lailah and who exactly she was, he still managed to get under her skin. He loved her for her and I loved him for that. He was misunderstood during the entire book and I felt bad for him but that made his character grow stronger.
Gabriel - Gabriel was an ok character to me. He was an angel who Lailah had always dreamed about but then they found each other. I found Gabriel to be annoying truthfully. He kept a lot of secrets from Lailah which he did not have to keep from her. I think he molly coddled her and treated her like she was weaker than she was. She was must stronger than he gave her credit for
All in all this book was a fast paced read. Even the secondary characters who I have not written about in detail were well developed. This was not a black and white novel. There were certainly shades of grey. A lot of them in fact. It is a good book to pick up and I recommend everyone who has read this review to give this book a try cause thats what it deserves.
