Luce has been sent to Sword & Cross boarding school, a
place for screw-ups, after an incident she can’t quite remember that left her
last boyfriend dead. The one bright spot at her new school is the mysteriously
handsome Daniel Grigori. But he’s avoiding Luce like it’s his job, while Cam,
another mysterious boy, won’t leave her alone. Literally overshadowing Luce's attraction to these boys is the dark shadows that
have always followed Luce around, and which seem to becoming more prominent.
Pro: Star-crossed lovers, and a dark, handsome boy who is
both hot and cold.
Con: The dark, handsome Daniel seems to be hot and cold for
no reason. What’s with the mood swings, buddy?
Pro: I liked Luce’s female friends at Sword & Cross.
They were all pretty hardcore.
Con: Luce herself was waaaay too passive. (“These boys like
me so I’m just gonna do whatever they say.” Terrible idea, Luce, terrible
idea.)
Pro: Quick read with more books in the series to follow. Definitely
worth a read to find out more about Daniel and Luce’s shared past.
Con: This book raised a lot of questions (presumably to be
answered in the following books).
I can only hope Luce grows a backbone and Daniel is explained in the upcoming books, which yes, I will probably read.
