Gypsy Truths - Kristy Cunning
Wow.
Violet often compares her life to a snowball rolling down hill, picking up speed as it goes. I have to say that's a great analogy for this series. Most of the time I was reading this book I had no idea what was going on. The second read was a little better but still, it's a lot of information and running around in circles most of the time but I just couldn't stop reading. Hence the reason this is my first post in like.. four days.
"My snowball has finally reached the bottom of the hill," I tell him sounding halfway hysterical, as I angrily bat away the tears. "I thought I'd boulder through or just simply splat. Turns out there's a third option."
"... I'm forced to continue rolling again in a different direction. It's starting at a crawl, building up those layers much too slowly to help me out at the moment,"
Seriously the snowball analogies are on point to describing the complexity of this book. Violet comes off as naïve and innocent but she's much more calculated then all four of the Alphas combined. I just don't think she really understands how her own mind works. Every time you think you're getting the hang of something or you think you understand what's going on, the author directs you in a different direction. Building up layers upon layers of complex history and information.
This series is one of my favorites. Just when you think you have the hang of things and you think you know what's going to happen, the opposite thing happens instead. Keeping you on your toes.
I don't want to give any secrets away for this series because I think you should definitely try it out on your own. Violets a character I can really get behind and appreciate for her true innocence and softness.
In a world where vampires, werewolves, Van Helsing's and sexual deviants are the apex predators and immortality is taken for granted because life just gets boring after the first couple thousand years. The history behind all the immortals and monsters is so thick with tension and underlying pain, regret, and hatred for one another, Violet's sweetness and understanding brings a refreshing new outlook to life. She opens the eyes to all the alphas for the "little guy's". The ones who can't fight and die first in wars and battles. The ones overlooked and forgotten.
I really recommend this book if you're a fan of paranormal fantasies.
If you're a fan of reverse harems.
If you love a good dark sense of humor.
If you've always been of fan of all the pretty monsters too.
