My Review:
Lets start with the cover. A dark haired young lady with only one of her freaky green eyes looking at me. That one look says so much, she has a feeling of dangerous yet innocent. The sentence "Sometimes Love is Lethal." Whoa! that makes my mind whirl with questions. Is the girl on the cover the one who is lethal? who is she? 

And with that I enter my e-book ready for the story to unfold. And boy-o-boy does it ever!!

Author Nely Cab starts the book captivating her audience by introducing the sweet Isis and all she wants to do is get some sleep, and this darn reoccurring nightmare she just cannot shake. No matter how hard she tries, this creature terrorizes her and leaves her a walking zombie from lack of sleep. Her poor mom is at whits end trying to figure out what to do to help her child get sleep.

Finally Isis has had enough and confronts the creature in her dream and she is utterly shocked by her discovery. The book then takes you on the most fabulous ride you'd ever want to encounter!

Cab had me yearning to continue to read, I needed to know will happen next. I love books that have you thinking of it when you are supposed to be doing other things, like sleeping or eating. 

Questions upon questions kept coming up.... What will Isis do? What is going to happen next? And the best part was, just when I thought I had it figured it out, Cab threw a curve ball and I was left not only scratching my head but NEEDING to read more.

Cab introduced her characters in a way that you were compelled to connect with. The characters had the perfect blend of humor and seriousness leaving me cracking up laughing at times and at other times really thinking about the situation. 

Cab gives her readers an action packed book full of unbelievable twists and turns and she leaves the reader literally begging for more! I cannot wait for the second book to be released!!!

This book was defiantly, BLAZING HOT!!!!!

When seventeen year-old Isis Martin is having trouble sleeping due to perturbing dreams of a horrific growling beast, she decides to confront her fear. But what Isis discovers is something other than a menacing entity. The human-like creature offers Isis assurance that he is not a figment of her imagination. Unwilling to accept his avowal, Isis sets his words to contest by asking the entity to prove himself - a dare, he readily welcomes. It is in her dreams that Isis innocently stumbles upon the silent existence of the divine lineage of those that man has long forgotten. In a quaint town, deep in south Texas, this story leads Isis onto the path of impermissible love and captivating life-changing truths. Isis Martin's journey is sure to leave any reader ravenous for more.

Interview with Nely Cab

  

1. Tell us 5 words to describe Creatura.

Love Story, Thrilling, Surprising, Different, Intoxicating

2. Which was the main reason you started writing it?

I started writing out of boredom and took it up as hobby. I had enjoyed writing when I was younger and decided that this was something that only required my imagination and my computer.

3.How do you see your future as a writer?

I try to stay positive about new doors being opened for me as a writer even though there is a lot of competition in the literary world. But for now, I will to continue writing for you and the rest of the YA reader out there and hope for the best in my future. 

4. Do you find yourself reflected in any of the characters? In which one and in what way?

I find myself relating mostly to Nyx and Claire because they are both mothers and like to cook. They take care of their families and are ready to defend their children like a lioness. 

5.  Tell us one favorite book you've read or you want to read (except yours , of course, hihi!)

I really want to read a lot of books, but one that has caught my eye recently is “Obsidian” by Jennifer L. Armentrout. 

6. My interview ends here so I invite you to say something for my readers and your fans (or future fans).

 I’d like you all to know that your support and your interest in “Creatura” overwhelm me. I never expected such a warm reception when I first published my book, especially not from people outside the U.S. I thought for a long time that no one would take interest in my novel. But now, to know that it will soon be in a country as beautiful as Romania and read by its people that are equally or more beautiful, gives me inspiration to write. Thank you for being a part of my world and a huge part of motivation.
