Collect The Light Tamer (The Light Tamer, #1) Constructed By Devyn Dawson Shown As Softcover
free book is a book I would not recommend to anyone, nor continue with the series, I started reading this and I knew right away I wouldnt like it, I read reviews at one point where I just couldnt take it anymore and saw that I wasnt alone in wanting to put it down.
I hate leaving books like that so I forced myself to read,
This book is about a fifteen year old girl named Jesse who moves to her grandmothers house in New York with her mother.
She has been there before and has a friend named Caleb whom she hasnt seen in many years, She never liked him but once she sees him again there is a strong pull that she cannot describe, Apparently she is bound to him and he is her mate, He saved her life which made that bond, They are both light tamers and her entire life she didnt know this until then and there when Caleb told her.
He said she is not allowed to go anywhere without a flashlight, I found it strange that she lived her entire life without one and she was fine, Whatever. The whole book is a loveydovey story about how much they are inlike with one another,
I dont know, This book just did not capture me, It was written mostly in dialogue and there were no descriptions of anything around them, I love picturing the story in my head and with this book there was none of that! The elders in this book spoke like the fifteen year old kids which I found odd.
There was one character who was Fate and she sounded like a teenager, You would think someone as old as FATE would be a bit more intellectual, Overall, did not like, do not recommend, Thats all.
An author I am friends with on Facebook recommended this book so I figured I would take a shot at it.
Let's just say that I am SO SO GLAD I didn't pay anything for it, After a couple chapters, I couldn't take anymore, It is HORRIBLY written! A ton of grammatical errors, It seems like a kid wrote this! I don't understand where thestar ratings are coming from, but I'm guessing, it's from a bunch ofyear olds
I usually don't bash authors but I'll stand by my word.
I was ecstatic to be able to read something new but in the end, it was disappointing, The plot was rushed through and some parts were confusing, I had to go back several times to be able to get the jist of what the author is implying.
Bottom line: I will not be reading any more from this author, I'm giving this book astar rating, because while it didn't "rivet" me, I think it deserves that rating, I found the premise to be very fascinating and original with Greek/Egyptian mythology twists that I have not encountered before.
The idea of Light Tamers and Dark Ones was very cool and I had fun exploring the world that Ms.
Dawson has created.
The plot:
This book is aboutaction,paranormal,mystery, andkissing, It was more of a sweet, gooey romance than a hardcore action flick, which is great news for you PNR fans! I don't remember the story lagging at any one point, though the pace was moderate, being neither too fast nor too slow.
The characters:
Jessie, our MC, has a bit of an attitude in the beginning over coming to live in a podunky little North Carolina town.
That is, until she meets Caleb, the boy who saved her life when they were little and the young man to whom she is now irresistibly drawn.
Jessie was a relatable, understandable heroine and I did like her,
Caleb was a cute love interest, I really, really hate to add this part, but I did think he was just a bit, . . okay, this hurts, but I'll say it anyway, . . stereotypical. There, I said it. But it's true! Caleb's character was goodlooking and ripped rather common in YA lit these days, whatever happened to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and sweet.
He really didn't seem to be all that flawed and anyone who knows me knows I'm totally into flaws,
My favorite character was definitely, positively, unquestionably Amber, Her smartmouth and dry wit brought a delightful sense of humor and a light touch to the scene, The fact that she's really not as "okay" as she makes herself out to be, and is really hurting inside, made her a compelling, engaging character.
I'm quite fond of her,
Since I don't wish to give away any spoilers, I'll just say that the bad guy isn't obvious at first and leave it at that.
There were a few typos and error in this book that were confusing at times, Most of the book is told in firstperson present tense, but there were places where you could see that it had been converted from thirdperson past tense narration and a few spots were missed in editing.
The graphic makeout scenes were a little too bountiful for my taste, I'm into romance can you think of a teen girl who isn't but not overt, steamy romance, I certainly prefer not to hear about tongues, etc,
Anyway, this book was a decent read over all, I didn't really get into it until the Great Twist at the end which caught me completely by surprise, by the way which almost made up for the rest of the book.
I don't think this is a book "anyone" could enjoy, but if you're into paranormal romance and light fantasy, give this one a shot.
You might enjoy it more than I did, Jessie moved from New York to North Carolina over summer break, Now that Jessie and her mom are living with her grandma, she finds out the split up of her parents is more complicated than she thought.
Living in a retirement community is not how she wanted the summer before her junior year to start,
Things begin to look up when she is reintroduced to Caleb, the boy that saved her life one summer at the beach.
Caleb is no longer scrawny and nerdy, he is now tall, dark and handsome, The instant he shook her hand, she felt warm vibrations running through her veins, They soon learn what it means to be bound to one another, Fate is more than responsible for their meeting and their future together,
This book is appropriate for young teens and people of all ages, Remember what it was like to kiss for the first time, or what it was like to fall in love.
This paranormal romance will keep you on the edge of your seat with humor, romance, and determination, Fall head over heels for Caleb and Jessie, REVIEWspoilers in thend chapter, . Taken from my Blog Le'BookSquirrel
New Author for me AGAIN!What a great first book to read by Devyn Dawson.
This book is the first in a Trilogy, It revolves around the lifes of Jessie,Caleb and Amber, Jesse moves to North Carolina with her mom to live with her grandma who does not like to be reminded that she is infact a grandma.
While there Jesse learns some new and interesting things about herself and life isnt so straight and narrow as she though.
I've read paranormal romances before and have never heard of light tamers so this is all new to me, . Since it is new I wish there was just a few pages set aside so I knew what they were.
Rather then explaining it half here and half there, Some of the wording was redundant,Jesse's use of Oh My Gawd got a bit annoying, I did enjoy her inner dialogue though,
Amber had me laughing the whole time, . some of her comments were so perfectly timed and so snarky that you just had to like her because you know she didn't mean them.
Caleb Caleb. . he was all around a good guy, . It felt as though he did no wrong, . I would have liked to see more dialogue from him and maybe some of his inner thoughts, My only other fault with the book was the "fight" scene seemed rushed and then when Jesse had her issues with Clark it too seemed rushed and I felt broadsided I guess because we went from the fight to her losing her bond and becoming a different person.
.
Overall I really enjoyed it, I know I had a few issues with it but it doesnt mean I didnt enjoy it or fall in love with the start
of this series.
