If you’re one of those people who, after reading Half-Blood, couldn’t help but notice the similarities to Vampire Academy, then you’ll be happy to know that those similarities ended with that book. Pure was a great book and definitely stood on it’s own. At times, it was slow-paced, but even so it was a tough book to put down.
I think what really made this book for me were the interactions between Seth and Alex. I really liked Seth when we were introduced to him at the end of the last book, and in Pure he managed to make me love him even more. That’s not to say I don’t love Aiden too. So this is a very tough love triangle. I think I’m more on the Seth side than the Aiden side after this book, but it’s still a really hard choice. I think she should just keep both of them.
But back to Seth and Alex. They made this book. Their personalities are so compatible it’s not even funny. They’re both sarcastic and impulsive, and that’s what makes them so much fun.
Alex I still really like. I think I liked her even more in this book. The really kind of stupid choices she made in Half-Blood were still present a bit here, but for some reason I wasn’t as annoyed by them. I think because I’ve come to understand that that’s just Alex. She’s impulsive and irrational, and while those could be flaws, that’s also where her strength comes from too.
The story for this one kind of continued along the same lines, but at the end we get an interesting twist that I’m hoping will make the next book a little more action-packed and on-the-go.
Overall, this was a really fun book and I’m loving this series. The love interests are as swoon-worthy as it gets, the heroine is strong-willed and fun, and it’s just a world you really want to jump into. I can’t wait to read the next one!
