Summary:
Sometimes you just have to take flight.
Sometimes you just have to take flight.
A summer in New Orleans is exactly what Allie needs before
starting college. Accepting her dad’s invitation to work at his hotel offers an
escape from her ex-boyfriend and the chance to spend the summer with her best
friend. Meeting a guy is the last thing on her mind—until she sees Levi.
Unable to resist the infuriating yet alluring Levi, Allie
finds herself at the center of a supernatural society and forced to decide
between following the path she has always trusted or saving a city that might
just save her.
My Thoughts:
I loved this story. When Allie meets Levi, he
was one of the biggest jerks when it comes to first impressions. Of
course, his bad boy persona was able to make Allie fall for him, but she still
tried to deny that she had feelings for him throughout the story. I love
that they had a love-hate relationship instead of an insta-love relationship, I think it gave the book more character. The setting for this story
was amazing. I think the author did
really well. I liked that this story took place in New Orleans, Louisiana
because it made me think of all of the supernatural creatures that could live
in New Orleans. It was a different setting than some of the books that I've read, which was a good change. The character interactions and dialogue in this story all seemed very
natural, as if you were actually having a real life conversation.
Allie was a very smart, strong willed girl and I liked that
when she set her mind to something, she was going to follow through.
Especially when it came to wanting to beat Levi to a pulp after what he
had done to her, which I won't spoil, I promise. I feel like on the outside, Levi tries to
act like this big macho kind of guy, but on the inside and when you get to know
him, he kind of made me swoon a little since he really cares about Allie.
That is, until his selfish side takes over 😒. I loved Levi's friends, Jared and
Owen, and Levi's sister, Hailey. Hailey was a great friend to Allie
throughout the entire story and was always understanding when it came to Allie and
Levi's relationship. Jared and Owen were great friends to Levi and Allie too.
Jared was a goofball, making jokes at the worst moments, but it was timed
so perfectly I would burst out laughing during those scenes and when needed, he could be serious. The Pterons
in the story were really intriguing. They were different than the normal
vampire and werewolf stories that I've seen in the past, so having a new kind
of paranormal creature was refreshing. Flight was an action
packed story filled with excitement, romance, and supernatural business and
royalty that kept me engaged until the very end. I definitely suggest
reading this book if you're into paranormal romance.
