SINOPSE
Riley sempre soube que Beck tem um passado conturbado, mas não está preparada para o que realmente significa estar apaixonada por um tipo com tantos segredos obscuros. Agora que Beck finalmente admitiu a si mesmo que também está apaixonado por Riley, não há mais que esconder a verdade o sobre seu passado. E, ao fim e ao cabo, colocar um ponto final num apocalipse demoníaco nada é comparado ao que está por vir...
BLURB
Riley’s always known that Beck had a chequered history, but she’s not prepared for what it actually means to be in love with a guy with this many dark secrets. Now that he’s finally admitted to himself that he’s in love with her too, there’s no more hiding the truth about his past. And as it turns out, fending off a demon apocalypse is nothing compared to what’s to come...
OPINIÃO
Li este livro entre os dias 23 e 24 de setembro de 2012. Acho que foi a primeira vez que li 350 páginas de um livro num dia – bati o meu record pessoal, lol! É bom superarmo-nos a nós mesmos e por um livro que adorei. Já que estou no campo das estreias, esta vai ser também a primeira vez que dou cinco estrelas a todos os livros de uma série, ou seja, “Foretold” recebe cinco estrelas tal como os volumes anteriores da série Demon Trappers. Jana Oliver é mesmo uma das minhas escritoras favoritas; tenho de experimentar outras obras da sua autoria.
“Foretold” é aquilo que chamo o livro de “atar as pontas”, isto é, resolve-se tudo o que há para resolver de modo a que o passado fique lá atrás e as personagens possam progredir rumo a um futuro mais promissor. E o final não podia ter sido melhor, principalmente para Riley e Beck; há muito que ansiava por que as coisas resultassem.
É difícil criticar um livro que adorei. O que mudaria? Nada. Gostei do equilíbrio estabelecido entre algo tão mundano como o passado conturbado de Beck, e o retorno da eterna batalha contra as forças demoníacas.
Quanto ao facto desta série ser YA e, na opinião de muitos, não para a minha idade… bem, “whatever”! Eu gosto de YA e vou continuar a ler livros deste género =P
REVIEW
I read this book between September 23th and 24th, 2012. I think it was the first time I read 350 pages of a book in one day – I beat my personal record, lol! It's good to beat ourselves and for a book that I loved. Since I’m in the field of firsts, this will also be the first time that I rate five stars every book in a series, ie "Foretold" gets five stars as the previous volumes of the Demon Trappers series. Jana Oliver is really one of my favorite writers; I have to try other works of her authorship.
"Foretold" is what I call the "knotting the ends” book, ie resolves all there is to resolve, so that the past stays behind and the characters can move towards a promising future. And the ending could not have been better, especially for Riley and Beck; I have has long yearned for things to result between them.
It's hard to criticize a book that I loved. What would I change? Nothing. I liked the balance established between something as mundane as the troubled past of Beck, and the return of the eternal battle against the demonic forces.
As for the fact that this series is YA and, in the opinion of many, not for my age... well, whatever! I like YA and I will continue to read books of this genre =P
