Summary from Goodreads:
Evangeline has spent her teenage years in obscurity. Her foster parents have the emotional aptitude of robots and her classmates barely acknowledge her existence. About to turn eighteen and feeling like a social pariah, she is desperate to connect with someone. Anyone.
When Evangeline meets Sophie after literally stumbling upon her café, she believes she’s found that connection. Willing to do anything to keep it, she accepts a job as Sofie’s assistant and drops everything to fly to Manhattan, where she is thrust into a luxurious world of Prada, diamonds, and limitless cash.
With such generosity and kindness, it’s easy for Evangeline to dismiss certain oddities... like Sofie’s erratic and sometimes violent behavior, and the monstrous guard dogs. She’s even willing to dismiss her vivid dreams of mob-style murders, beautiful homeless people living in caves, and white-eyed demons that haunt her each night as figments of her imagination—especially when one of those figments is the gorgeous Caden. When she wakes up with bite marks on her neck, the fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare. She slowly unravels the mystery surrounding Sofie and friends, and the reality of the bites and the “dreams.” What she discovers is far more mysterious and terrible than anything she could have imagined.
In a world where everyone has motive to lie for personal gain, Evangeline must decide which deception is least likely to get her killed.
Review: I’ve never read anything quite like Anathema before. When it first came out I remember being instantly interested. I am upset that it wasn’t until this tour that I actually was able to read it! K.A. Tucker has a nack for creating characters that will capture your heart!
I loved Sofie. She had nothing, so when she was given an odd proposal she jumped for it. Honestly who wouldn’t? Anyways just as things don’t seem right and she doesn’t know who to trust BAM, enter hot boy! Caden oh boy guys, you are going to love him. Even though he says stay away it’s that opposites attract thing between Sofie and him that had me reeling at what would happen to them.
This book is pretty fast paced! There is action, turmoil, ripped limbs and squirting blood! Not to mention treachery, vilians and evil creatures!! The world building was a tad bit off, but I was still able to get into it. You can expect reviews from the rest of the series from me.
