Review:
Trinity's life as she knew it was over. Raised by a pair of religious fanatics she was sheltered from normal, everyday experiences that other girls her age partook in. She never had a boyfriend, she never attended a school dance, hell, she never attended school in general. She was kept home and taught by her mother until the day a car accident claimed the lives of both her parents. With nobody else to turn to she was taken in by her ex-priest who had been dear friends with her parents. Once she arrived at Saint Amos she was greeted by four boys who seemed to have a vendetta against her on sight. They were determined to run her out of school by any means necessary. Why did they hate her so much? That was a question maybe Trinity shouldn't have asked answered.
I was a little meh about the book going in with how much religious talk there was. The fact she was the only girl at an all-boys school and that caused her to be an outcast was the most unusual bit. You'd think in an all-boys religious school she'd be pretty popular being as it was a bunch of hormone driven boys. But for some reason she was hated and it wasn't because of any manipulation by the group of boys she got involved with. It just simply was the case. That is one fact I had a hard time wrapping my brain around. It seems very unrealistic.
The way the author described Trinity's waffling between attraction, hatred, and fear of each of the boys, especially Reuben, was something tangible. I could feel Trinity's emotions leap off the page and felt them right along with her. I wish there had been a bit more heat in the book but it was just this side of titillating that kept me anxious to keep reading to watch it blossom (if it turns into fade-to-black I'm going to lose it).
The mystery and plot aspects of the story were interesting. Throwing in the religious connection also was unique to any other book I had read. I wish the book had dabbled in the overall plot a bit more before the book came to an end. It felt like it was a lot of tormenting Trinity and not a lot about the reason behind it. I hope to dig deeper into the second book.
I walked away from the first book anxious to pick up the next one that I almost skipped my review to dive into it. That is the mark of a really good book.
