Dahlia tells the story of a young woman named, you guessed it, Dahlia. She has been through foster home after foster home, but now that she has been in her current one for 6 months, she is being to feel like things might be normal. That is, until she starts feeling watched all the time, and a strange young man with green eyes won't leave her alone.
I liked the spin on vampires and fallen angels in this story. I've read things sort of like it before, but it still had unique elements to make its own. It had a good pacing to it. It wasn't too fast or too slow. Like a lot of books, it picked up a lot after the first half.
What I didn't like so much were the characters. Dahlia seemed very predictable and not much of a fighter like you would expect. I thought her romantic relationship was unrealistic. The two characters barely knew each other. There just weren't any scenes where they really bonded normally. Also, at the beginning, it seemed like her foster brother was interested in her. In the first scene, he is checking her out very obviously. I was really surprised when it suddenly switched to them just having a normal foster brother-sister relationship.
I would give this 3 stars, overall.
