Masquerade
by Cambria Hebert
I really loved this book! Masquerade is told in a few different POVs. It has the normal split POV between the main girl and the main guy. I love this style, and what I really liked about it were the proportions. Heven had a little more than double the amount of chapters as Sam did. It worked out really well. But in addition to these two know POVs, there were also some sporadic mysterious POVs. These were such an awesome addition! I kept trying to figure out who they were. I didn't even know if they were characters that we had already met in the story or not. I like that you are kept in the dark about their identities but it doesn't leave you totally confused for the story. I am just super impressed with Cambria and her writing style. Everything worked so well.
Heven is smart, nice, popular and pretty and then something awful happens to her. I felt so bad for her because she is such a good person. And then as I was reading the story, instead of feeling bad for her, I just started feeling very proud of her. And then her mom would open her mouth and I started getting so defensive of Heven. I got pretty attached to Heven. :) I honestly just wanted to punch her mom and give Heven a hug.
The other characters are all well developed too and they all evoked emotions in me. I love Sam, I really like Cole, I hate Heven's mom, and Kimber leaves me a little indifferent. On one hand, I think she is a good friend but there is just something about her. Her jealousy bugs me. But I like that there is a pretty large cast of characters that play a significant role in the story.
I don't want to give too much of the story away because experiencing the story for the first time was awesome for me. I think that if I had read a lot of spoilers about Masquerade, some of the excitment and appeal of it would have been lost for me while reading it. It is just one of those books that you have to experience for yourself to get the full effect of it. I am so excited to start Charade right now, that I don't even want to finish writing my review. I just want to pick up Charade and start reading. This is a great book for fans of the paranormal. I can't wait to read the rest of Cambria's books!
