Sometimes you just have to take flight.
A summer in New Orleans is exactly what Allie needs before starting college.
Accepting her dad’s invitation to work at his hotel offers an escape from her
ex-boyfriend and the chance to spend the summer with her best friend. Meeting a
guy is the last thing on her mind—until she sees Levi.
Unable to resist the infuriating yet alluring Levi, Allie finds herself at the
center of a supernatural society and forced to decide between following the
path she has always trusted or saving a city that might just save her.
My take...
Allie thought spending the summer at her father's new hotel
working would be the perfect opportunity to get acclimated to living on her own
before college at Princeton started up that fall. She also thought she would be
spending that summer man less. That is until she walks into her father’s hotel
and locks eyes with a gorgeous guy. Yep, who was she kidding? Her summer was
about to get a whole lot interesting.
I have been on a roll lately reading some pretty awesome books and
Flight was no different. I inhaled that book until there was nothing left. (I obviously
mean that in a good way.) The whole storyline was fun and kept my interest the
entire time. I loved the idea that Alyssa presented to the readers and her
writing is spot on. It was the perfect story rolled up into a perfectly paced phenomenal read.
As for characters I wasn't sure if I would like Levi at first.
In a lot of ways he reminded me of Kiran from Rachel Higginson’s Star-Crossed series.
And if you know me you know I cannot stand him any longer. So I was a little
scared that Levi would fall into that category of ‘Infuriating Guys’. But
luckily Levi redeemed himself a little bit and all is right with the world….for
now.
I like Allie’s character too. Obviously she doesn't have the
best track record with guys if she has decided to swear them off for the
summer. But Lord help that girl when she takes notice of Levi…the girl doesn't stand a chance next to him. And I liked her relationship with the girl
characters of the story. The dialogue was exactly what you would expect from a
couple girls who just finished high school. Everything flowed well and was easy
to follow.
Alyssa Rose Ivy I am diggin this new series of yours…A LOT! I am
in desperate need of the next book, Focus, like now! So if you are in need of a
good read with a different take on paranormals…please, please try Flight today.
A fav scene from the story…
“Vampires
are low lying?”
“They suck
blood from people, how much more of a bottom dweller can you imagine?”
“True. But
I don’t know…they seem more glamorous in books and movies.”
Yes,
because books and movies always get things right.” He shook his head.
Great review. I really loved this book to and I am dying for Focus.
