Having not read Embrace, I was slightly hesitant to read Hold Tight first (as I always am when I read book 2 before book 1). However, the author did a wonderful job of keeping you up to date on the previous goings on without being obvious. I really appreciated that.
I loved the portrayal of witches in this book. Madison was a fun and engaging character and I enjoyed reading some of her story. I thought the romance between her and her boyfriend was very nice and well done. It wasn't over the top, but it didn't take a total back seat either. I personally would have liked to see a touch more of it, but only because I'm a huge fan of all the kissing scenes.
The plot had a few predictable moments here and there, but overall, I didn't know what was going to happen. I liked being on the journey with the main characters and finding out what the deal was about fairies.
If you enjoy fantasy mixed with contemporary YA books, I would recommend this.
I received a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
