“You…make me feel sane in this crazy world. You give me hope. You give me life. When I’m with you…I can’t even believe I’m with you. It’s like that every morning. Like I’m dreaming, but I’m not.”
Perry

They’re baaacckkkkk! I didn’t realize just how much I missed Dex and Perry until I picked up A to A and became immediately immersed into this amazing story. It’s not often that such a long series can entice me for such an extended period of time, this being number eight in the series. With each new installment I have progressively read, I’ve found myself falling head over heels for this ghost hunting duo with absolutely no reservations about how many books are in the series. Much like with television shows, I tend to see that the higher the seasons or series (books) climb, the dumber or more forced they become (excluding Friends, of course). But not with Karina Halle’s EIT series. Sure, Come Alive, for me, was by far the weakest of the series, so I had some reservations about this upcoming release, but I was ecstatic to be wrong in my presumptions.

“This is me trying, Perry,” he said softly, the anger being drained of his face. “This is me taking my heart out of my chest and putting the bloody mess in your hands. I can’t give you much more than that.”

Swooning. Lots of swooning. Soooo much swooning. Into the Hollow was by far the sweetest, most adorable book yet. If there was one sweet moment there were fifty. There was a neverending onslaught of Dex’s charm and I was left with permanent butterflies throughout the whole story.

“I was trying to be a better man, Perry. For you.”
“And I’ll keep trying,” he quickly said, voice low and somber. “Until I get it right.”

We begin where On Demon Wings leaves off. Perry is still stuck at home with her overly watchful parents and has Maximus sniffing around thanks to her parents’ meddling. But when things take a turn for the worst and Perry realizes that living at home is a danger to her free and sane future, she has to make a safe, albeit rash, decision. She moves out…packs up and moves in with the most unlikely of candidates.

Come Alive didn’t seem to have the effect on me that it did on everyone else. While the beginning was adorable and Pex was in an ignorant bliss, the rest of the story closed up and swallowed most of the preconceived warm and fuzzies evoked from the beginning of the story and left me feeling bored and somewhat reminiscent of the times where Perry was our narrator.

As I said above, the beginning started off somewhat strong-Dex and Perry are happy and starting fresh after all their earlier mishaps, hoping for a bright future…together. Neither of these characters ever believed they would be where they are now, and they are basking in the unbelievability of their tentative relationship. I really enjoyed seeing their feelings show for each other at the same time for once. There was only one glitch (well, actually many glitches, but that’s beside the point) that really bothered me about their new relationship.

The fact that we had, YES I said had, to hear it from Dex’s POV, really didn’t work for me.
