There's danger in the beauty...
Two years, six months, and twenty-five days. That's how long it had
been since I'd seen my winged hero— not that I'd been counting. I'd suffered
through years of counseling just to convince my friends and family that I
wasn't crazy and knew he didn't exist.
But he did. And I was done waiting.
Days after college graduation I headed back down to New Orleans to
retrace my steps and find Owen again only to find my life was about to get even
crazier... thanks to the most beautiful and dangerous of all paranormal
creatures, the Allures.
Lure really
shocked me. I didn't expect to love this book so much, but once I started
reading, the plot's intensity rose higher and higher with every chapter. Soon I
felt like my heart would explode.
The
book started off with Seduction's Kiss, a Lure novella, to give a little
background about Daisy and her first meeting of Owen. I loved reading the
novella because I got to see the change in Daisy from Seductions Kiss to Lure.
In Seductions Kiss, Daisy is shy, a pushover, and not very confident. However,
in Lure, which is set two years after SK, Daisy is a little more open, strong
willed, and working on being more confident. I connected with Daisy easily because
her personality was so likable. She was both snarky and headstrong, which are
characteristics that always make a novel fun to read. Then we have Owen, who is
the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome. When Owen first made his appearance I
knew I would become as obsessed with him as Daisy was. He was quiet and
mysterious at first, but we slowly got to see that he had a huge heart,
protected his own, and had a snarky streak like Daisy. They were a match made
in heaven. When they interacted in the book it was explosive. I could
practically feel the tension between them radiating from the book. It was
great. It didn't hurt that the situation they were in made the tension a little
worse.
The plot
of Lure was one that slowly built up and once it built up enough, everything
beyond it was like a roller coaster ride. Daisy traveled to New Orleans for
answers and began her journey to Owen, but she met a mysterious group along the
way, who drove me up the wall. This group had the answers Daisy was looking for
but they were so secretive that I wanted to scream at the book more than once.
I can't tell you how frustrating it was to not get answers all at once and as
soon as possible, but sadly, that's not how good books are written! The group
did wonders for the plot because it kept me reading and it got my emotions
raging. Lure had my irritations levels high most of the time, but it also had a
few other emotions running high as well. The romance in the book also had my
emotions in a whirl wind. We didn't get much romance until the end, but it was
worth the wait. Whew, sparks flew, guys. Daisy and Owen are such an explosive
couple, and they just fit together perfectly. I loved that we got two POVs in
this book because it was interesting to see what was going on with Daisy and
Owen, and what they were both thinking. It made each chapter interesting.
However, it also made that ending hurt so much more become I easily got
attached to Daisy and Owen. Therefore, when all of the answers came out and I
learned what was happening to Daisy, my heart plummeted. I felt like I wanted
to cry because I felt the same hopelessness that Daisy felt. After I finished
the book, I was begging for the sequel because I needed answers!
Needless
to say, I highly enjoyed this book. It had everything I could ever want in a
book, a mission to uncover secrets, adventure, romance, jealousy, paranormal
creatures, and a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly
recommend this book to all NA paranormal book lovers because this would be
right up your alley. I also recommend this book to anyone interested in unique
paranormal creatures because these are ones that I have never seen writing
about before! Lure really surprised me in that aspect. I cannot wait to see
what happens to Daisy and Owen in the second book! I give Lure four out of five stars.
