WARNING: Grab some tissues and be prepared to stay up all night reading because you won't be able to put this book down!
I do not like spoilers, so I am going to be very vague with my review. I want you to experience this book the way I did; going in with NO CLUE about what this book is really about! If you're like me, you need to switch up your book selection once in a while. This is definitely the perfect change of pace. It's an amazing Young & New Adult, Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance.
Arie Belle is just a quirky, beautiful girl with a happy life; then, when Arie is sixteen, her mother dies very suddenly. Thankfully, she has her best friend, River and his parents to keep her company. Even though she is surrounded by people who love her, nothing ever seemed the same. Her world, which was once full of light and happiness, became dark and distant. On her 18th birthday, she learns that the past she knew wasn't exactly what she thought it was.
River, Arie's best friend, guides her through the new path her life is taking. He is there for her when she needs him the most. He pledges his love to her and she knows that he means it. However, she doesn't expect to meet Ashe, the mysterious guy who tears her heart into pieces. She learns that it is, in fact, possible to be in love with two people.
In my mind, this book has everything a book should have. The entire time I was reading, my husband had to check on me. I yelled a lot. I wanted answers. "Why, ARIE?" "What is going on"? Then, magically, I had my answers. Dani Hart must be a mind reader. She perfectly described Arie's life and encounters with the most beautiful imagery I've ever read.
I'd like to thank Dani Hart for creating this amazing piece of art. Not only it is beautifully written, but it transported me into a world that I never could've imagined! This book is unlike anything I've ever read. Years from now, we will look back and say "Remember when Dani Hart first created the Life of Arie series?" It's that good. I I'll give you a simple comparison to show you what I mean: When I first read Twilight, I thought "This book is going to be something. Stephanie Meyer just put a new spin on Vampires. I hope this one makes it big." THAT is how I felt after reading this book. I think; No, I know that not only is this going to be a wonderful book series, it is going to be an incredible movie. It's going to do for fairies/guardians of nature/natural beings what J.K. Rowling did for wizards and Stephanie Meyer did for sparkly vampires!
