Review: Supernatural Devices by Kailin Gow.Reading Challenge For 2012: 12 Dystopian Post-Apoc.I had so much fun reading and learning about Heloise and Abelard and their child and watching Callie and August discover each other along the way that I really do think this will be a story that a lot of people will really enjoy and love, especially those with a love of history and star crossed lovers like I have. This whole book was a whirl wind adventure filled with mystery and intrigue and sweet romance and passion with a slight paranormal element that will leave you wanting more. True star crossed lovers and their tragic love story. I loved the mystery behind the illuminated pages they find (something I found so fun to read about!)and the real history of the story of Heloise and Peter Abelard, which I am ashamed to admit I have never read about before. He is smart and sexy and so so kind that you can't help loving him as well and rooting for him and Callie to be together.

I am a huge history lover as well so his job of finding and investigating ancient books and text just sounded fascinating to me and something I would love.Īnd then we get to meet the delicious August. Her uncle is fantastic and such a great secondary character that you can't help wishing you had an uncle just like him. She is one of those people that you would love to have as a friend because she is loyal and trustworthy and you know she would be there when you need her rain or shine. She is smart and independent and just likeable.

Thankfully, while this story wasn't quite all I hoped it would be, it was still a fantastic read and I was very happy with it. I am going to admit that I had really high expectations for this book so I was a little leery about reading it, I mean, I really hate it when I am excited about a book and then it turns out to be a huge let down. I love tragic tales of star crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde so I knew this was something that I wanted to read and if that wasn't alluring enough, the gorgeous cover made it a shoe in for something that I just knew I had to read.
