When sheltered teenager Theia Alderson meets Haden, the strikingly handsome new boy at her school who is the same compelling figure that has visited her in her dreams, she has no way of knowing the extent to which her life will ultimately be changed.

Falling Under is a paranormal romance that feels well written. But—it is the start of a new series. Sigh. The first book isn’t all that thick, so I am wondering if the publisher or author decided to stretch it out. It seems like the new thing the write is series. The covers are beautiful, though.

“The cell phone was a compromise…. He didn’t know I could read e-books on the phone, he didn’t even know what e-books were. Father just thought he’d finally broken me of reading by flashlight. It never would have occurred to him that I hadn’t been broken—I’d graduated.” (p 12.) My favorite quote comes early in the book; I would have been just like Theia if cell phones had been around when I was a kid. The ending is okay, it’s not a cliff hanger as such, but there is still trouble to resolve.

While I was looking for a specific book, I found this book, the cover and title caught my eyes and I bought it; I wasn't sorry, I just opened the first chapter to read it and suddenly I found myself reaching chapter 6, and I couldn't put the book down, or stop thinking about it.

This book will surprise you and will keep you wondering what will happen next, it has everything from great characters to creepy dreams and dark moments. In some ways the book reminds me a lot of Peter Pan and Wendy but in a darker sense and mostly for older people.

The only thing you should know before starting is this:

Down is Up, and Up is Down.

Enjoy! ( )

I liked a lot of the concepts, but got annoyed with the plot. ( )

This was also another book I read all the way through but I did not enjoy overmuch. The imagery and sensuality in this book is palatable. Ms. Hayes has a gift, that I can assure you, but I was not fond of the story in this book. It just seemed to...far out there. I was happy that there was no love triangle though, as are most of the books like this one today. I will try other things by this author, she is an excellent writer...I just hope her plotting becomes more to my taste.

As you can see, after I thought about the book more...I stopped enjoying it. ( )
