Nocte
Rating: 5 stars
Summary:
My name is Calla Price.
I'm eighteen years old, and I'm one half of a whole. My other half-- my
twin brother, my Finn-- is crazy. I love him. More than life, more than
anything. And even though I'm terrified he'll suck me down with him, no
one can save him but me. I'm doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of
insanity, but I'm drowning more and more each day. So I reach out for a
lifeline. Dare DuBray. He's my savior and my anti-Christ. His arms are
where I feel safe, where I'm afraid, where I belong, where I'm lost. He
will heal me, break me, love me and hate me. He has the power to destroy
me. Maybe that's ok. Because I can't seem to save Finn and love Dare
without everyone getting hurt. Why? Because of a secret. A secret I'm so
busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming. You won't
either.

Nocte is
one of the most messed up books I’ve ever read. It’s also one of the few books
I finished in less than a day.
The
story of Calla is full of suspense and insanity. I couldn’t stop trying to
guess the big twist and when I came to that part I was shocked and heartbroken.
This is
not an easy book to read. It’s hard, it’s not for everyone.
Be
careful, if you want to read this book you have to be ready for everything.
The
romance was a little complicated for me, because it felt a little like insta
love. It was until the ending that I understood everything and realized just
how well created the romance was.
And Dare
was an amazing love interest.
Even
though, Nocte is a NA book I can say it’s really clean. I stopped reading NA
books a while ago because I feel like all of them focused on sex, but Nocte is
not a romance, it’s a thriller.
I loved
that fact that Calla lived in a funeral house. It gave it a gothic feeling.
If you
love to read killer books. If you love insane books. If you love a book that
plays games with your head, then you definitely have to read Nocte.
“I would plunge to the bottom of the ocean for you. I’d comb it for shells and make you a necklace and then hang myself with it. Because if you aren’t here, I don’t want to be either.”
The truth shall set you free.

Summary:
My name is Calla Price and I’m drowning.
My new world is a dark, dark ocean and I’m being pulled under by secrets.
Can I trust anyone? I don’t know anymore.
The
lies are spirals. They twist and turn, binding me with their thorns and
serpentine tongues. And just when I think I have it figured out,
everything is pulled out from under me.
I’m entangled in the darkness.
But the truth will set me free.
It’s
just ahead of me, so close I can touch it. But even though it shines
and glimmers, it has glistening fangs and I know it will shred me.
Are you scared?
I am.
*****
Have you
ever read a book that let you screaming and wondering WTF just happened?
Well, if
you read Nocte you probably felt this way. But after reading Verum you’ll never
trust this author again.
I didn’t
love Verum the way I loved Nocte because I feel like I was running in circles
and I was tired of the secrets. I have to read the ending to understand it was
necessary and I couldn’t help but fall in love with these characters once
again.
Verum
takes place in England, which gave the story some kind of historical feeling.
Calla and
Dare a great couple of main characters. The plot is crazy and strange. It doesn’t
matter if you feel like you guessed everything right. You’re wrong.
Verum is
surprising, even more thrilling that Nocte. It’s gripping. It’s unpredictable.
I cannot
recommend this series enough, and I can wait to read Lux and unravel finally
the truth.
“Dear Reader, Dante Alighieri said, in his Inferno: "Do not be afraid; our fate cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.” Dante lied. Our fate must be worked for. It must be paid for. With tears. With blood. With everything we have. And it is not until the end, the very end, that we will know if it was worth it.”
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
LUX
Coming on May, 2015
My pieces are all around me, floating on the wind, even as I desperately try to grasp them.
Who is dead? Alive? Insane?
What is the truth?
I don’t know.
I do know this: The darkness is strangling me. With every breath, I choke on another lie.
My mind has protected me, but that shield will soon be lowered.
All will be revealed.
Every answer to every question.
Every answer to every question.
It’s all been leading to this.
Don’t be afraid.
Be terrified.
Be terrified.
