Once I read past chapter 8 and realized that this was not going to be another teen-vampire type story, I was able to get into the story more. Events picked up and characters became more rounded. There were some unexpected plot twists that kept me reading as much as I could while traveling back from Ohio. (Reading while in a van or car became headache inducing once I started wearing bi-focals.) I finished the book today and ordered the next two in print. If my Kindle would unlock I'd already be reading the second one.
The story developed into the start of a fairly unique battle between good and evil which I assume will continue. Gemma is attracted to Kartik, but they appear to be on opposite sides, although I don't see Kartik as being on the side of evil. I want them to end up together, although that would not be socially acceptable. Is Gemma going to develop enough confidence in herself to be able to flout convention?
I am also interested in how the lives of two of Gemma's friends will continue. I'm not sure whether I like Tom enough to consider him good enough for one friend, and I worry that the other has been seduced by evil. I may end up impatient enough to order book two in a Kindle version and read it on my phone.
