Fresh Fiction Review

STARFALL
Michael Griffo

Reviewed by Samantha R
Posted July 4, 2014

Young Adult Paranormal

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 clichΓ© 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.

SUMMARY

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. . .
