Erron by Melanie Schulz

Reviewed by Lucy
recommended for 16+ 

From the moment I began this read, I was drawn in. From beginning to end, I devoured this book in three days. This author gives you bits and pieces of information that unfold throughout, keeping it interesting and driving you to find out what happens next. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the way this was penned, though I know some don't care for changing points of view. The story of Erron is told from a duel perspective, and though it does indeed center on this unique male, it unfolds through two points of view, both expressed in first person. Willow, a young woman who the lonely and reclusive Erron finds himself drawn to, and Paul, a man employed by organization who has been hunting him for over four years. It becomes clear early on the what you see with Erron is not as it appears.

This book is full of secrets, half truths, twists, and turns. There isn't much I can reveal about the series of events that occur without ruining the journey for you, but I will say that you can't help feel for these characters. Even the antithesis grew on me as I found myself rooting for him as well. Her characters were well formed, rich and complex. The plot was strong and the story flowed well from chapter to chapter. 

My only complaint, was I felt the ending was too abrupt given the background and build up leading to the climax. I would have loved for the author to have given a bit more insight and detail into what came after for Erron and Willow. For that reason, I would give this novel a 4 star rating instead of 5. Still definitely a solid worthwhile paranormal read I recommend for the price point of $3.99. (Link to book found below for Amazon)
