Irritante. Snervante. Deludente. Prevedibile. Da carie. Lento. L'unica cosa che si salva è la cover.

Review:
I had never heard of this until the publisher emailed about it. I was intrigued because the premise sounds very unique and I am always on the look out for something different. And I am not going lie I love the cover and that played a big part on why I wanted to read it (Yip, I know shame on me but I am attracted to pretty covers). However, even though overall it was a very good book and the end makes me want book two I couldn't help feel disappointed because most of the story was slow and some it confused me........

Mystic City made my reading list as soon as I saw the beautiful cover. Little did I know that Theo Lawrence was about to blow my mind. I was under the impression I knew where this story would take me, but I was pleasantly surprised to figure out that I actually had no idea.

Aria wakes with a lack of memories. According to everyone around her, Thomas is the love of her life and she fought against all odds to be with him. It makes perfect sense since they are now engaged to be married. However Aria can't shake the feeling that things are just...off.

I can't deny that the characters are what really drew me in. While Aria isn't the type of protagonist I'm usually drawn to, I did find her interesting. The fact that she was willing to question things, even when she was assured on all sides that her memories were fine, made me smile. Of course once Hunter came into the picture you couldn't have stopped me reading if you wanted to. Funny, kind, and absolutely intriguing, Hunter is a character to swoon over. You'll get no spoilers from me, but their story is wonderful.

My one wish for Mystic City was that the world building was a little more solid. Let's be honest, a futuristic New York is just too delicious not to describe! I was teased with a look at a world that is split in two. The rich live above the filth, and the poor in it. New gadgets and technology rule the day, and people are constantly monitored no matter where they go. I really wanted more showing and less telling. When Lawrence was describing, it was gorgeous. All I wanted was more. I'm hoping that the next in the series will help me further dive into this new setting. 

Despite any small qualms that I may have had with the world building though, I really enjoyed Mystic City! I blame my Fantasy addled brain for the lack of five stars, because quite honestly the story line and characters together are more than enough to keep you reading this book. Readers of dystopian, fantasy and even romance will all find something to love here. I will happily admit that I am eager for more!

In a submerged Manhattan where outcasts have paranormal powers, Aria Rose is engaged to Thomas Foster, and their powerful families--once enemies--are uniting politically, but Aria cannot remember meeting Thomas or falling in love with him.
