Stepping Stones (The Stones Series #1)

I kindly received a copy of this book from Urban Fey Press via NG in return for an honest review. "Normalcy is the key to surviving grief." Rating- 2.5 Stars

Onnaleigh Evelyn Moore woke up with her life perfect, She even met a guy that took her breath away and the crazy thing is - he's just as into her. Everett Galo has the most vivid moss green eyes and a smile that renders a person speechless. She has her best friend. She has a potential boyfriend. She has her brother and future sister in law. She has parents who love her. And then the world unravels, And then everything changes. She may have woken up with her life perfect, but it only takes the blink of an eye to lose everything that mattered in your life.

This books was freaking heavy. Yikes. I feel kind of depressed after reading this to be honest. Not that it's not a good story but to be perfectly honest, some parts made absolutely no sense to me. For example, we have a side of the paranormal in this story, where we meet comforters. So, i was intrigued, there's this whole brew-ha-ha about why they want Onna, so you start hypothesizing but still looking forward to the explanation. Dear folks, we don't get one. The romance was very insta-love like, it makes sense of why it happens but it was just so danged fast. This story is just one emotional basket case. Seriously, yikes. It felt like it was more about a girl losing everything than about the aspect of 'guardians' or 'comforters' to be honest. a part of me appreciates this story while another part is not very impressed. However, my heart really goes out to Onna. This author writes well, but I just wished we had some answers! the entire book I waited for the other shoe to drop due to the forbidden romance part and then it goes something like 'ah, it's just gonna work out' kind of thing. It made no sense to me that ending. Also why the heck did they send her back? what do they want? why does this book not have any answers? *clears throat* It's a good and very sad story, but a part of me wasn't that impressed by it. Stay awesome! -The Book Herald tweet me @thebookherald for comments!
