The Willows Book Review

The Willows
Krystal George
Genre: Paranormal/ Suspense

 

 

Book Description:

 

Life is easy when you have everything you want; great friends, a boyfriend who loves you, a happy family that supports you, brothers that both protect and annoy you. I had all of that… once.
That was before the accident. That was before the murder. That was before… The Willows.

Evelyn Magwire now has a choice to make. Does she turn her back on the mysteries that have consumed her life, or does she face the darkness and find the truth? When her brother comes up missing, the choice is made for her. Forced on a path where her friends become her enemies and her enemies become her friends, Evie learns that the changes happening to herself are the scariest of all. She’s not sure she will ever be the same again… Because some changes are forever… and bloodlust… never dies.

 

 

My Thoughts:

 

‘The Willows’ was a great novel. I love the way the story was told. ‘The Willows’ really surprised me. I didn’t even see the plot coming. The way the story began I thought it was going to be a murder mystery/ thriller. However that is not what it turned out to be. A shocking twist spun me into a dark work of paranormal adventure. I really thought from the beginning it was going to be about a girl rebuilding her life after a devastating accident that resulted in the death of her parents. Then wham the action started. Her brother disappeared and in her quest to find him she discovers a very secret and very dark world that is so dangerous it could kill her and her loved ones.

I think the story was written flawlessly and I really enjoyed it and loved the unique characters. Evie is such a strong heroine, I think plenty of people will flock to her fan club. I also really loved the setting of the story it was really creative and unlike anything I have read before.

 

‘The Willows’ gave a nice paranormal twist to a murder mystery. I really thoroughly enjoyed the book. I think girls will of course swoon over Remy and Sevren; they are the typical bad guys. One is kind of good and the other is totally bad and yet they are both irresistible. Girls will eat them up!

I loved the fact that it wasn’t your typical vampire story. Remy and Sevren were fighting over Evie but she wasn’t head over heels in love with either of them or dying to be a vampire. She just wanted a normal life and to find out what happened to her brother. She wanted these vampires gone. It gives the story more edge. Yes they did have power over her; using their magic so that is a problem but still I loved it the new view.

 

It was a great story and I am a big fan. The ending left me hankering for more and I am praying I get more of this story.

 

I will be keeping my eye out for more from Krystal!!!
