Damselfly Review



She used to be known as the Blithe Baby. Now she’s something more, and that’s not a good thing.

Seeing the world through new eyes, Sophia Blithe has found love, found hope, and found a life that she never new she would have with Declan Sterling, a Sidhe boy with indigo eyes and magic in his touch. But, she should know by now that life never plays out how you want it to.

When the new world she knows, and the old world she remembers begins to crumble around her, Sophia will lose almost everything that’s ever mattered to her, and will be forced to make a decision that will forever change the course of not just her life, but also the lives of those she loves the most.
 
My take?
 
5 Stars!
 
Appropriate for 14 and under: yes
Language and content: none
 
Whoa! What an emotional rollercoaster ride this was! And did I expect anything less? Nope! Ms. Naeole leaves no emotion untouched, expect the unexpected everytime. And I cannot believe the cliffhanger at the end of this book! I can't wait for the next book to come out, it's literally going to kill me to wait for this, haha.

I love that Sophia's character gets to grow into herself into this book. No longer is she as unconfident as she was in the first one and she doesn't even let Dex (current bf) or anyone else walk all over her or tell her what she wants. She's still in for a lot of heartbreak, and this part kills me. I have a somewhat similar background to her and so reading her story reopened a few scars for me, maybe that's why I've loved her story so much.

Anyway, her whole family dynamics is messed up, but I really love how things work on in this area. I'd love to see "Dad" get more and I hope maybe there's more on that area, lol, I think he got off to easy. The EX is where he needs to be, the sibs are out of harms way, for the most part and Sophia is ready to take on her destiny, how painful and lonely as that may be. This is the part where I'm hoping things in the storyline change. I love where the man/boy is willing to go to all lengths to fight and change things and it's the girl that is trying to go with destiny, unwilling to risk all for love...yet (I hope there's a yet). It will be interesting to see where Ms. Naeole takes things on this one and the happy ending she gives to all included. Don't get me wrong, I know the struggles she gonna give are gonna be amazing, but in the end it will all be worth it!! :)
