Vermin, Book One
Left for dead at the side of the road in an outlawed town, Nicholas is rescued by a human girl. Plagued by fevered dreams and a lethal illness, Nicholas doesn’t know what to make of her kindness. If she knew what he was, death would be a merciful gift.
Ardin Patterson is a gifted author and storyteller. I say both because being a great author does not always mean that the audience will be focused on every word, or invested in the characters. I don't think I skipped a single passage, I was so worried about Nicholas, Rose, Diana, Roland, Zanna and Micha.
The author does an excellent job of portraying deep, flawed beings who love and (in some cases) hate in equal measure. These people (like us in real life) are so easily swayed to cruelty as long as they feel justified, but in the same moment, they will show compassion. I am invested in what will happen next. I want the best for Nicholas and Rose. Their blossoming romance is sweet and true, but I don't trust those villagers.
This is not my genre but a teen recommended this book and being twice her age I decided to humor her. I picked it up and kept turning the pages LOL ! For some reason the vibe, feel , moral message and images that it invokes for me are a combination of Avatar, twilight and Harry Potter, I suppose you have to read it to see what I mean. Main message makes you think about how you treat others who may look different or may very well be different. Good read, enjoy !
Fantasy based stories aren’t usually my forte, especially ones that are part of series which are still unwritten/ released - BUT BOY! Am I sure glad I took a chance on this book!
There are many cute/ adorable moments between certain characters that I LOVED reading about. Certain scenes stuck out to me and will stick with me for time to come.
I am heavily invested in ALL of these characters (minus Peter, solely because he annoys me). Each page I turned, and each chapter I finished had me begging for more!
I was recommended this book by a friend. Considering young adult romance books are not really my forte, I was pleasantly surprised by Vermin. I think that Ardin does an excellent job of world building and character building. I really felt for Nicholas, Dianne, Roland, and Rose.
This book is a great reminder that we shouldn’t judge people who are different and the power of standing up and supporting others.
I am looking forward to the next instalment
This was so good honestly !!!! I can’t wait for the next one the suspense is killing me :)
