I was really excited to read Scintillate by Tracy Clark, I even picked it for a Waiting on Wednesday a couple weeks ago. It was a quick, easy read but left me wanting sometime more meaty.

Likes:
The storyline was interesting, the auras and energies were unique and an original for a storyline.
The main character, Cora, and her family were interesting and likeable.
Ireland, I have always wanted to go to Ireland so it was fun to read about a place I want to travel, like living through the book.

Gripes:
Insta-love, argh. I understand by the end of the story why it happened, I just wish it would have been portrayed differently.
World building was lacking, I really was so excited about Ireland, but it just felt like the detail of the green countryside and ancient buildings, ect were lacking
The meat of the story, the part I was really excited for didn't develop until the last 150 pages. I really wish I could have cut out most of the first part. I know this is going to be a trilogy and there is more to come, but it was a slow lead up.
