But as I found myself nearing the end of Existence(say the 80%) when the real plot started to unravel, I realized that nothing really happened for the first 80% of the book. I did find myself easily drawn into Pagan’s world and there is a bit of a mystery to uncover which made it exciting to read. You know, little plot besides the heroine mooning after some mysterious hero who she inexplicably feels drawn to. I kinda forgot what it was like to read a YA paranormal romance until I picked this up. Seemed like a bit of a missed opportunity but Glines does throw some other twists in there to give you some surprises. I think I would have liked not knowing what type of paranormal creature he was until later. I feel like the synopsis does a bit of a disservice to the story because you really don’t know Death is “Death” until you are past the halfway mark. It has been a long time since I read a YA paranormal series (I mostly read fantasies or dystopian novels) but the concept sounded unique and I love Glines’ ability to write addicting romances so I was excited to start this. But I never got around to this series until I had to set some priority reads for my Rock my TBR 2016 Challenge. I’ve devoured her New Adult series in days and absolutely love her works. In those 4 years though, Abbi Glines has become one of my most read authors on Goodreads. I bought this series within the first year of me getting my Kobo…and it took me 4 years to get around to.
