The Childe

my thoughts

cover : i love the cover. think its pretty unique. i like how the full moon is in the background and Cat's silhouette in front of it [i have a thing for redheads/gingers fictional and non fictional]the cover depicts a scene of the book i think.also like the font and the placement of the title.

book: i was happy when i got a email in which it was announced that i won it at a booktour.after 2 months of shipping it arrived


we get thrown in the prologue. its in a medieval setting and has very Gothic feel to it.

the story really begins at the start of a new school year. strange occurrences and incidents are taking place in astoria. secrets are being kept by loved ones{ cat's]

the story felt very mysterious. there's a unknown danger. we don't know what a CHILDE is. this book had snared me from page 1 till the end.


the romance between cat and ryan beckford [our romantic intrest and a paranormal being i think he's a vampire don't really know what he is. was the romance was enjoyable. a love between to not really humans. this is completely fre from insta-love and love triangles. the romance is not the main focus more the mystery, solving and finding out. i would not say that the ‘‘sparks n butterflies'' were on the backburner more likely the medium burner[made that up] the romance begins to appear in the middle towards the end. i found the perfect song for them at least in my opinion.

Is there a sue ann in this novel? NO there is not .Cat is snarky, caring for her friends and family and a good friend.

loved julie, matt and amanda ; they felt real. friends for life.

cat and taylor behaved liked siblings should be. getting on each others nerves a bit. lol

there are real parents and parental figures present. a couple of ya books miss those.

What the heck is a Childe? you get to know nearly at the end of it.

Really want to know what a Childe is?? ok its a ..... HA fooled you won't tell. read and check out for yourself.


if you're looking for mystery, finding things out, paranormal,romance that's not irritating. Try The Childe. hope you'll like it as well.
