Melissa's Reviews > The Violet Hour

I first have to say that this book was not what I thought it was. When I started reading it, I thought this was going to be about a girl with an issue with voices in her head. But, as I continued to read, I found out I was sorely wrong! This book has a sci fi edge to it that I found refreshing. There was a little romance that I found to not be as bad as I thought. Not that romance is bad. It's just, when I think of a horror story, I don't think romance.

This book is definitely YA. Again, not that there is anything wrong with that. I have read my share of YA books. The characters are easy to like and relate to and I like that the author helped by writing the book geared toward a YA audience. I like that the horror aspect wasn't too over the top and the "romance" portion was dubbed down for the genre.

There was a whole lot happening toward the end of the book that kept me reading. This book was a quick and easy read. I am back to reading my series reads but I was glad this isn't one. But, if it does turn into one, I will read book 2. Good book.
