Review:
 
If I was asked to quickly sum up Devoured, I would use words such as creepy, romantic, and just a fun read overall.
 
I loved how it was a Snow White retelling because while Amanda had used an old idea, she turned it new again by giving it a fresh and original turn of events. Those events, in turn, made it a fast paced read that was easy to fall into with her simple writing. Though, I felt that sometimes she had the tendency to rush things like the ending, for example.

While Megan and Luke were the main characters and I did enjoy reading about them, my favorite would have to be Nikki. So as you can imagine if you have read the book, I was a bit shocked by what came to her by the end. Remy also added an eerie feeling to the story that made it hard not to get a bit scared when mixed with other events that were happening. Though, while I did like the characters, it sometimes seemed that Amanda didn't develop the secondary characters to the fullest they could've been.
 
In all, Devoured was still a decent read even with the problems I had.
 
Grade: B
