The Taker by Alma Katsu

4.0

4.5 stars. I started this book yesterday and finished it today. I really enjoyed it. The story is about Lanny and her love for Jonathan and how that love shapes her life. The story starts in present day, meeting Lanny and then she tells her story in flashback. She is telling it to Luke, a doctor taking care of her, and he is the only character which I like. I really don't like any of the other main characters: Lanny, Adair and Jonathan. Though by the end of the book, I liked Jonathan more than Lanny. As her story unfolds, I like Lanny less and less. I think that's one of the reasons I liked this book so much. I didn't like the protagonist. I read that this is the first in a series (don't know how many books) though the book finishes well with no loose ends. It ties up neatly. I can see only one direction of interest the series could take but I can't mention it here without spoiling the book. Looking forward to see if and how the author continues the story.
