Olivia's Book #2: Clockwork Angel

Since Gina did an excellent job giving a brief synopsis already, I feel that I can skip that part and just go directly into my opinion on this book. I seemed to have enjoyed it more than Gina, maybe it's because I'm younger. Although I suppose there is nothing extraordinary about Tessa, the main character, I liked her enough. I enjoyed that rest of the characters even more though. There is a very Dark Visions type vibe with the two love interests, however in this book both of the boys have troubled pasts and secrets that are intriguing. It makes it much more difficult to decide which character you want to root for, where as Gabriele was the obvious choice in L.J. Smith's series.

This book was able to keep my interest up until the very end. I had gotten to the last two chapters in less than a day but at that point seemed to have hit a wall. I think the author over did the ending by putting in too many elements and twists. It made it so I was just waiting for it to finally be over.

That being said, I wanted to read the second book and am interested in where the series will go. I would recommend this book as a summer read, but not as a novel one would want to read countless times.
