Jade, while certainly naive and easily led, is NOT as downtrodden or as weak as some implied. Instead, I found her to be a young, yet determined, woman struggling to find her place in a new world that smacked her upside the head.
All in all, this is a Coming of Age New Adult Series with an unusual paranormal bend.... one that makes the foundation of this melodic tale fascinating. It's a bit angsty, a touch annoying and features Alpha males with dominating airs I kinda wanted to smack away... almost. I felt like she was dragged around and into situations, yet she isn't the shrinking violet some reviews painted her as. No, Jade isn't quite as strong as her cohorts, but she is far from weak, and it seems that her strength may be still be growing - which leads me to expect a delicious confrontation with Pierce. Insert evil laugh here.......more
