My Review:
I actually expected something totally different regarding the letters which was one of the reasons why I had a hard time getting into the story.
The storyline was interesting but everything moved so fast that it felt too unreal and I couldn't keep up with it. I wasn't really into it but the suspension grew closer to the ending.
Ivy was careless and threw herself without thinking onto the letters and the stranger who wrote them like they were her life and the air she breathes. She acted like a 16 year old rebellious teenager because she did everything she was told not to do.
The Story:
Ivy is a student that finds love letters in her dorm room. Even though she first feels like intruding someone else's privacy she can't stop herself from reading the letters. With each letter she's reading, she gets more and more curious about who wrote them. Though after some digging around and finding out about the secrets behind those letters and the person who wrote them, she wants to know more despite the warnings of people telling her to stay away from it.
Thoughts:
I didn't know that this was just the first book of a series. I hoped for the complete story though it seems like I have to wait to find out how it ends. What do I learn out of this?! I have to get more info on the books before I start reading them. *scolding myself*
The writing wasn't bad but the characters annoyed me and it wasn’t just the main character but all of them. Ivy was reckless and really obsessed with this man she didn’t know at all and he really creeped me out.
I missed the depth and meaning of this story that wasn’t even dark but just touched the thriller genre. Especially because of the warning in the blurb did I expect something a lot more darker and dangerous.
Given the chance I would still like to continue reading this story because I believe that once diving into it, it will get better since now I know in some degree what to expect from it and I am a curious person and really need to know how all of this unfolds.
