I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

DNF - 25%

Noa is bereft when her twin sister Isla dies, leaving her alone to cope with grieving parents and a hyperactive toddler sibling. Noa hopes life will go back to almost-normal when she returns to school but is struck by new guy Callum, who has something special about him. Soon Noa and Callum’s connection bring them together and Noa finds out about a world of fae she never knew existed.

This isn’t a bad book, and the writing in it was perfectly fine. I liked the introduction to the characters and the mysterious surroundings (at first) around Isla’s death. I did really feel for Noa at times in this story, and for the most part I enjoyed reading about her. The nonly problem with this book, for me, was how much like Twilight it felt - the guy meeting her gaze, not wanting to touch her and then almost pursuing her then to talk to him. If I wanted to read Twilight, I would read Twilight (and don’t get me wrong, for all its faults I love a bit of Twilight now and again!). I DNF’d this when it came to Callum’s part and I realised I was not invested in the story, nor did I care about the characters. I know there’s an evil brother that’s due to come in at some point (a la Vampire Diaries?) but I just didn’t want to read on. A few years ago this book would be right up my alley and I probably would have devoured it but right now, it’s not what I want to be reading or investing time in.
