My Review:
The many twists and turns throughout the book kept me intrigued until the very last page, the mysteries and darkness entwined within the pages making for a novel that I did not want to end. However, while the characters eventually grew on me towards the end, I still felt that there was a bit of a disconnect between the reader and the characters, this disappointed me a bit because I really wanted to become fully engaged in their lives, but there was just something missing that made this a challenging thing to accomplish. Nevertheless, I became invested in the story of Cassandra and Emma due to the mystery and gothic element surrounding their past and present. There was something not quite right within the story and I was determined to figure out what that thing was, and while we eventually figure it out, I wanted more to read at the end! Overall, 'Heartblaze' is an interesting read filled with mystery and madness that will leave readers needing the next one like now!
Rating: 3.5/5
