Review:
If some of you have been following my reviews for a while you may have noticed that I love Cecy’s writing style, and Unearthed is no different. Urban Fantasy is one of my favorite genres and with Cecy’s added flare, this book hits all the marks for me.
I love how Cecy writes her characters. Her characters are always very unique and well rounded no matter their importance to the story. Most books focus on the main character, the love interest, and the villain with little focus and attention to the secondary characters, but I can tell with Cecy’s novels that she pays special attention to the secondary characters to make them more than just background pieces. By doing this, Cecy really creates a whole world in her books and it makes me feel like I am in the story because everything is so detailed and realistic. Olivia, the main character, is my favorite type of heroine. She is the type of girl that most would dismiss as weak and easily scared, but in reality, she is a badass that will kill you in a heartbeat given the proper motivation. She is a heroine that I cheered for as the book progressed and I felt an attachment to her because of her tough exterior but kind heart. Her love interest also complimented her complex personality and demeanor as he was someone you wouldn’t imagine a pixie falling for. I just really loved how Cecy played with her characters.
The setting was also a high point for me. Urban Fantasy novels can sometimes be confusing as they often intertwine magic and regular humans and that can leave readers with questions regarding the mechanics of things, but Cecy does an amazing job of explaining the ins and outs of this new world without it seeming like a dictionary entry. She blends explanation in with funny interactions and exciting fights that you feel as if you are experiencing the world yourself. Speaking of funny, I found that Cecy once again created a main character that made me laugh with her witty remarks and snappy comebacks. Those funny moments were a nice break from the tension filled story. I just really enjoyed everything about this novel from the fantastical creatures like dragons, gargoyles, and grim reapers to the tense battle scenes that had me on the edge of my seat, unsure of what the outcome would be.
I definitely cannot wait for the next installment of this series because I am hooked on Oliva’s story. I give Unearthed four out of five stars, only because I wanted more romance (but I know there is more to come)!
