Driving into the Night by Amanda Kay – Review by Mary Espinoza

Driving into the Night by Amanda Kay

Driving into the Night by Amanda Kay was an interesting book, this was my first read by this author, so I didn’t really know what to expect. This is not what I thought it was going to be, I was thinking like a dark mystery, but instead it was a supernatural mystery with some romance mixed in. We meet the two main characters, Kenai and Mikael and both are teenagers who attend the same school and apparently have noticed each other for quite some time. Neither one expected to be attracted to one another, but they are and neither one of them ever seems to build up the courage to actually speak to each other.
So as fate usually does, it brings both of our main characters to the same high school party with the usually games of truth or dare and spin the bottle, and of course fate would have it that on the first spin of the bottle Mikael is to kiss Kenai. Little did either of the boys know that from this moment on their lives would be changed and somehow would seem to intertwine further than being at this party together.
These boys have no idea that their romance is going to be extremely challenged due to the fact that their families have a long history between them. There is a ring that is given to one of the boys and it will greatly affect anything that has to do with the other boy.
I felt that this story was good but could have been better with maybe some more details of the back story of the ring and the families of our main characters. We are given the storyline of a demon angel versus a hunter, but this is where I found the storyline to lack some. I feel that with more detail and maybe a longer story this book could have been great, it could have even been transformed into a series. I look forward to seeing what else Amanda Kay will bring us and I hope that she considers putting more detail into this storyline and turning it into a series.
