Author: Gwen Hayes
From GoodReads, "Theia Alderson has always led a sheltered life in the small California town of Serendipity Falls. But when a devastatingly handsome boy appears in the halls of her school, Theia knows she's seen Haden before- not around town, but in her dreams.
As the Haden of both the night and the day beckons her closer one moment and pushes her away the next, the only thing Theia knows for sure is that the incredible pull she feels towards him is stronger than her fear.
And when she discovers what Haden truly is, Theia's not sure if she wants to resist him, even if the cost is her soul."
If you are looking for a quick-read romance, this is not the book for you. The story itself is a romance, but it is one that I felt I had to read methodically and really search out the meaning behind what was going on in the story. I believe that author, Gwen Hayes, really took the time to describe the details and is looking for a sophisticated reader to really grasp her work.
I felt that this book had something different to offer than other books in this genre because it is different from any other book that I have read. The main character, Theia, is a strong character and although she knows that she might have to give up the things that she loves, she makes sacrifices that are believable, even though this is a fantasy. I have to admit that there were a few terms introduced in this book that I had never heard of before so I had to either look them up or do some more research about them once I found out what they were. By the way the story ends, it lends itself nicely to a sequel... so we may be hearing more from Gwen Hayes in the future.
