From the inside cover:
She couldn't be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of Zara's overactive imagination. In fact, he's still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. There's something not right--not human-- in this sleepy Maine town, and all signs point to Zara.
In this creepy, compelling breakout novel, Carrie Jones delivers romance, suspense, and a creature you never thought you'd have to fear.
Right off the bat, I was engrossed in the book--just from the title of the first chapter. You see, each chapter title is the name and definition of a phobia. Maybe its just because I like trivia, but it had me hooked. And it just got better from there.
Yes, Need reminds me of Twilight. And maybe thats why I liked it so much. But Zara (love the name, by the way) is such a strong female character, without being TOO strong. She still had a soft, romantic, girly side to her. And I really liked her and connected with her. And Nick--he rivals Edward any day! (although maybe I should say he rivals Jacob). He's hot and protective and tender all at the same time--what more could a girl want!
I found that there were a lot of twists and turns in the story--some of which I saw coming and some of which I didn't. I found that the words flowed so nicely in the story. They painted the picture effortlessly and I was easing picturing the scenes in my mind. And they were enthralling. I read the book in less than a day and I'm so glad I have the sequel, Captivate to read next!
I gave this book a rating of 4.5/5.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you liked it. I'm going to be reading this book next and it's been a while since I read a really good one. I hope that this book is that book.
