I picked this up on a whim wanting something with an element of Supernatural in a contemporary setting. Slide delivered in the relaxed enjoyment of the story, and the premise had me excited. I love out of body concepts. It was a hard book for me to rate though when it ended, as I enjoyed it, and was also frustrated with parts of it at the same time. Here are my pro's and con's, and my overall thoughts.
Things I liked
·
The developing relationship with her sister
Mattie
·
Complex family secrets that unfold and reveal
reality
·
The past and present colliding to create thick
tension in all areas of the plot
·
Engaging protagonist[Vee] her ideals, and
perspective was relatable and I was empathetic of her
·
I enjoyed that the romance wasn’t top heavy in
the context of the story
Things that troubled me
·
Her ‘ability’ at times felt too easy for me
·
More development with friendships
·
The relationship and resolution of Zane felt off
to me
·
It felt wrapped up too fast
·
The pacing was off for me at times
·
I did see the major twists coming
Conclusion
This was a great, mysterious read that had fantastic layers
that when peeled back revealed a promising story. Jill’s characters were emotionally
sustaining, as was the overarching stories of Vee’s ability and the world
around. The pacing was slow at times, and I feel it could have used with a
little more meat in places regarding relationships and resolutions, a few
threads trickled out, and weren’t wrapped up for me. It was a fun read. The
elements that kept me entertained and turning the pages were definitely my intrigue
with her ability and her relationships.
