Welcome to the Book Blog Tour for The Sight - Book #2 in the Devil's Isle series! I have LOVED Chloe's writing ever since I picked up my first copy of Some Girls Bite, and I think it's probably fair to say I've been book stalking her ever since! So, needless to say, I was super-excited when I was chosen to help her promote her newest book, The Sight. ;)
For those of you who don't know - the Devil's Isle series is set in a dysantopian New Orleans. Post-Hurricane Katrina the Veil had been torn, and Paras (paranormal beings with magic) came across in an effort to find a new world which caused a war between humans and Paras. Those "in-the-know" have come to realize that only some of the Paras actually wanted the war - others were coerced into fighting. The damage has been done though, and while the humans won the war, the land in The Zone has been seriously damaged making life difficult for those who refused to relocate.
MY REVIEW
Chloe's second installment of the Devil's Isle series does not disappoint! Action, intrigue, magic, and romance can be found in these pages in abundance!
Claire, Liam and friends have an issue on their hands the self-proclaimed saviors of The Zone - Reveillon - are willing and able to take down anyone and anything standing in the way of their goal. What's their goal, you ask? To remove ALL magic from The Zone in order to return the land to it's former fertile state. That means not only all Paras, but also any humans who have been "tainted" and/or assist Paras.
There is some awesome (if high school-ish) chemistry going on between Claire and Liam which builds extra tension into the situation. With the world falling apart around them the way it did they didn't get to have normal teenage years which will allow for the teenage feel to their relationship early in the book. I wouldn't recommend the book for teenagers unless they are fairly mature though because there is a sex scene later in the book.
Like most of Chloe's books there was a twist I probably should have seen coming - but didn't. And, I love the way she builds her worlds with details - you can almost hear, see, and smell the world the characters are living in via her writing. If you love urban fantasy/paranormal books, and haven't yet read any of her books you NEED to!
*Please note I received an ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
