A Want So Wicked

Suzanne Young — 2012

Elise is a normal seventeen-year-old girl until the day she wakes up in a desert park with no idea who she is. After that episode, her life takes a bizarre turn. She's experiencing unexpected flashes of insight into people's lives—people she's never met before. Strangers frighten her with warnings about the approaching Shadows. And although Elise has never had a boyfriend, she suddenly finds herself torn between two handsome but very different young men: Abe, the charming bad boy whose effect on her both seduces and frightens her, and the mysterious Harlin, who's new to town but with whom Elise feels an urgent, elemental connection—almost as if they are soul mates. Now Elise begins to question everything about her life. Why do these guys both want her so desperately? What are the Shadows? Why does the name Charlotte inspire a terrifying familiarity? And who is Elise, really?

*Grrr* Now, tell me true: did we really just go through the entire first book, just to go through it again? Because, I mean, that seems like what happened here. Okay, it was little different. The Shadows played a bigger role here. there was Lucy. (that was, like, wow. Like, OMG, Are you freaking serious? Not only Elise/Charlotte, but Lucy? It was seriously… *Grrr* Oh, and then there’s the whole Elise/Charlotte thing. I spent the whole first half of the book confused about that because I just simply DID NOT WANT TO BEIEVE IT. I mean, come on. How unfair would it be for Charlotte to have gone through the entire firs book, get reincarnated and told to do it AGAIN? Seriously freaking unfair. But, apparently, that’s the point. And now it SEEMS that she won’t be fading away, which is a plus. But, uh… I’m not sure if I’d go so far as to call it justice. Which means these books are still in danger of being burned. I need the next one to come out!!!!! Like, now!!!!! GRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
