This young adult novel does not only give you a sarcastic female protagonist with an interesting story, but also two very charming paranormal main characters of the opposite sex.
HEY - don't give up on this just yet, because we are neither talking vampires, nor are we looking at your typical, been-there-done-that, love triangle. This book is different from anything I have read before, and I cannot wait to see where the next installments in the series will be taking us.
Cain and Asher are both sweeter than heaven, and hotter than hell - but that's where their similarities end, as each of the identical twin brothers has been sent to Earth from different realms. While one of them is serving Heaven as an angel, the other one is a demon from hell, and their different traits and characteristics make this an interesting and entertaining read. I think it is safe to say that this would be an absolutely recommendable read for anyone who is a fan of the tv-show The Vampire Diaries, and especially those who have read and enjoyed the books by LJ Smith that the show has been based upon.
Team Damon (/demon), Team Stefan (/saint)? It's okay to love them both... I did. But Team Damon, Team Stefan, it's all water under the bridge - now Team Cain and Team Asher are those to ship, and you might definitely start to feel yourself picking sides - I know I did. As I have mentioned before though, it's not your typical love triangle, because while it is undeniably present, it is not taking place in the foreground, and could almost be considered a subtle sub-story to, and steerer of, what the actual storyline is all about. The brothers are on a mission, each of them trying to convince Ella that their realm is the place to be, that their side is the one to pick... because her choice will ultimately be changing history.
Ultimate Temptations is full of well-developed characters, that each come with their own complex story, beautifully wrapped into one. The paranormal character of the novel isn't too absurd and is clearly structured, so it's easy to follow and get lost in. Falling in love with Asher and Cain was effortless, and now it's time to see what they, and their worlds, are really made of... SO WHERE THE HELL (pun intended) IS PART TWO?!? (-;
4/5
Ella Wilkins only wants one thing out of life - to graduate from high school and escape her hometown where everyone knows her and the dark cloud surrounding her family.
Everything is going according to plan until two new students show up at her school. Asher and Cain, identical twin brothers, take an interest in her, and she can't help but wonder why two gorgeous brothers would want anything to do with a social outcast like her.
As she gets closer to the brothers, she's torn between the two. Asher's kindness pulls her in and comforts her while Cain both tempts and infuriates her with his sarcastic and devious ways.
When she learns who they truly are - or rather, what they are - things start to get a little tricky.
Ella might not know it, but she is the key to winning the ultimate battle between heaven and hell. Both realms want her, and neither is willing to let her go.
She's torn betweeen the ultimate temptation of heaven and hell. Which side will she choose?
