About
After being
inexplicably targeted by an evil intent on harming her at any cost,
seventeen-year-old Nikki finds herself under the watchful guardianship
of three mysterious young men who call themselves halflings. Sworn to
defend her, misfits Mace, Raven, and Vine battle to keep Nikki safe
while hiding their deepest secret—and the wings that come with.
Review
Normal young girl Nikki, begins to wonder if she is normal as she thinks when she is chased by creatures in the forest. She thinks she has no chance against them , so when she is saved by a beautiful boy, whose eyes she falls into, she thinks it can't be real. However she comes across the boy again and it becomes clear that he is very real, not human though.
This boy, Mace, is sent to protect Nikki with his brothers, Raven and Vine. They aren't human and they don't know all the reasons for them being sent, is it really Nikki they are to protect? If so, why? Mace feels something for Nikki, even though he knows it is against the rules. Nikki also has those feelings, but as she gets to know these boys, she can't not find Raven interesting too. Perhaps the good in her is going towards Mace, while the other, her daring side, is going towards Raven. He is a bad boy, sure of himself and offers things that Mace can't.
As Nikki starts to realise that she really isn't normal and neither are the boys, danger surrounds her forcing the boys to do their job, she is wanted by an evil she had no idea about.
All the characters are strong in this story and i enjoyed the relationship that played out between Nikki and Mace, along with the hint of something with Raven. This is a series, so not everything was answered, i think this story will get really interesting.
