Synopsis :
Angel is impulsive.
Disguising her savant ability to control water doesn't come easily to
her. Then she meets the broodingly handsome Marcus at a music festival
where they're both performing, and finds herself all at sea. For when he
sings, her soul answers with its own music. Like the tide, their mutual
attraction cannot be held back, but Marcus's mistrust of Angel's gift
is even stronger. How can they ever be together if Marcus is unable to
accept who Angel is or what they could mean to each other? And with the
net closing in on the Savant community it's time for everyone to choose a
side. A stunning new novel from the best-selling author of the Savants
series: Finding Sky, Stealing Phoenix, Seeking Crystal and Misty Falls .

You know it's said that fools rush in
Where angels fear to tread.
Then I'm a fool;
Angel, I'm your fool.
This time, Joss Stirling brought a heartbreaking theme of having a
soulfinder. Without a doubt, her protagonist were marvelous and wicked
at the same time. Angel and Marcus are completely in different level of
living with their gifts. Angel recognizes her ability to control water
at a young age while Marcus was unfamiliar with it.
The
original plan is to help Will Benedict unite with her soulfinder who
happens to be a part of the band. A band usually have several tours and
it happens that Angel's band is included on it. It was the perfect time
to reunite, until she also met her own soulfinder in the process.
On
my observation at first, it has a bit similarity in Finding Sky. The
protagonist are unaware at first with their savant gift. But what sets
Finding Sky and Angel Dares is the concept of rejection. While Finding
Sky displays it in a mischievous way, Angel Dares gives a whole lot of
compromise about it. Imagine your lover rejecting you in whatever you
say and yet their actions shows the opposite. It is completely confusing
and yet addicting. All I was thinking is, how can Angel bear the pain
of knowing that her soulfinder will just refuse her over and over.
One
thing that I loved about Angel Dares is the way these characters were
able to express their feelings. They used music as their medium to
communicate with it. The lyrics were quite lovely yet deadly and
poisonous. For Marcus who was able to amplify another abilities, he
earned the title on serenading a heart. But the thing that sets him
different is his denial of his own ability and even Angel. This made the
book heartbreaking.
Of course, Joss Stirling created a new
way for Marcus to redeem himself to Angel. And I assure you, it felt
like Marcus created a warm place for Angel to protect her at all cost. Angel Dares is the game changer of the Benedict series. You'll find how these characters were able to put up a fight with their feelings. This is definitely one of the most entertaining book I've read this year.
