I was really looking forward to reading this book, but in the end the anticipation was more exciting then the book itself. I’m not saying that I didn’t find the book good, just that I found it boring in parts and because of that it didn’t hold my attention like some of my favorite books have.
On A Dark Wing is a story about Abbey Chandler who cheated death 5 years before, when a horrific car accident took her mother’s life but not hers. She believes and Ethereal boy took her hand and saved her life. Now 5 years later Abbey is an outcast at school she still carries the guilt of what happened 5 years before and she is seeing deaths ravens and her long time secret crush Nate Holden appears to be deaths taget. As Nate begins his dangerous climb up Alaska’s Denali she will learn that death never forgets.
The premise for this story sounded very intriguing and I was so glad when I was approved to read this off of Netgalley, but as I began to read it I felt like something was lacking and it never grabbed hold of me like I wanted it to. The authors writing was good and I enjoyed the characters, but I never could connect with anyone of them and maybe that’s why I couldn’t get engrossed into this story. In the end it left me wondering if maybe had I connected with the characters better if I would have enjoyed this story more. Overall it was an ok read. I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it. What saved the story for me was I loved the idea behind it I just didn’t love the execution. I am not completely brushing off this author I will definitely give her a try again.
