Though the curse is no longer new to her, Dominy still has
trouble balancing her girl and her wolf. When her enemy,
Nadine, shows up again, things only get worse. Dominy and
her friends will have to stop the town's evil once and for
all, even if sacrifices on all ends have to be made.
While STARFALL by Michael Griffo has some nice aspects to
it, it unfortunately wasn't a good fit for me. I haven't
read the previous books in the series, but Griffo does a
solid job of giving background information to give the
reader a good update on what's happened so far. However, I
had a hard time connecting with the main character, Dominy.
She bounces around a lot and is kind of inconsistent, and I
just couldn't find a strong connection to her. Her
relationship with Caleb is really sweet though, and I really
like the romance in the story with them.
The writing feels a bit stiff, and some of the dialogue
steers towards cliché at times. With that, it made it hard
to lose myself in the story and to really care about the
situation. However, the paranormal elements with the wolf
are interesting, and I like the touches of mythology with
Orion. The ending does answer all the important questions,
and the epilogue is a very sweet touch. The secondary
characters have distinct personalities which is another
highlight to the story.
Overall, STARFALL by Michael Griffo just isn't the book for
me. It definitely has some really nice highlights to it, but
not being able to connect with the main character stopped me
from enjoying it as much as I could have. If you enjoy
paranormal stories with wolves, it still might be something
you want to check out.
In the newest book in Michael Griffo's mesmerizing Darkborn
Legacy series, a small Nebraska town becomes a battleground
in a fight between light and dark--and one girl must look to
the stars to reclaim her life. . .
Dominy Robineau will never be just a girl again. At sixteen,
a curse awakened the animal inside, and now every full moon
transforms her into a creature of terrifying power. But she
is not alone.
Dom's enemy, Nadine--a descendant of Orion, the
Hunter--won't hesitate to kill to increase her strength.
There's a new arrival in town too, and shifting alliances
that will bring even more secrecy, mystery, and death to
Weeping Water. Dom's relationship with her boyfriend Caleb,
her connection to her best friend Jess, and everything she
believes about her family and her past is about to be put to
the test. The only way to keep herself and those she loves
alive is to strike a bargain that may destroy the last
shreds of her humanity. . .
