I really enjoyed this book. Ms. Armentrout really knows how to write characters that you instantly fall in love with and then put them in situations that capture your imagination. The world of pures, halfs and gods that she's created here were so different from any that I've read that I found myself immersed immediately. Of course, even though the plot was intriguing, I found myself distracted from it by a certain character. But, before I get to that thought, I want to tell you how much I liked Alexandria (Alex). She is such a wonderful heroine. She's spunky and fearless. She has a very humorous inner voice and, even when her life takes turns she couldn't imagine, she is brave. It's super easy to enjoy a book when the main character makes you love her right from the beginning. 
 Now...back to the distraction I was talking about earlier. His name is Aiden and my-oh-my he's swoon worthy! He starts off as a stoic, controlled character but as the story progresses we begin to see some cracks in his armor and I can't wait to see how he continues to grow in the next book. His feelings for Alex and the ust in this book is wonderful. Their forbidden love had me hooked!! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my other favorite characters, Caleb and Seth. Caleb is Alex's best friend and he's absolutely delightful...caring, fun, funny and totally supportive. If there was no Aiden, I'd be pushing Alex into Caleb's arms! Seth is fated to be part of Alex's life and, at this point, we're not sure exactly what will happen between them but he's a fun character. 
 I'm looking forward to reading Pure...what will happen between Alex and Aiden? What will happen with Seth? What are the bad guys up to? How will these character fight back? So many questions left to be answered and I, for one, am glad since that means Ms. Armentrout needs to keep writing stories about Alex and Aiden!!
