Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Melissa A.

Maid for Me by Kat Lieu proves to be a wonderful journey through Mina Lins experiences with her mother Kaila, her best friend and crush Kiterin, the rich boy Jaiden, and the rest of the cast. Juggling with teenage drama and a childish mother, Mina shows that a teenage girl can be independent, resourceful, cunning, and strong individual. The cast of characters was comprised of a wide variety of personalities and attitudes, such as the ever popular, and secretly a gold-digger, girlfriend, to the stern butler, who has a pure, traditionalist heart, and many more diverse personalities. Concerning the use with the characters, there is the wonderful contrast between Kiterin Forrests and Jaiden Daniels. The best friend and the rich boy may not have an exceeding amount of face to face interaction, but the differences between the two are still extremely apparent ant tangible, allowing the reader to truly understand Minas feelings between the two of them. The only flaw that I noticed was that a part of two of the story moved extremely fast. However, these bouts of fast story were easily forgotten as the story kept a realistic feel, since none of the characters magically changed and turn over new leaves almost instantly. The changes within the characters actually occurred over time, keeping them realistic. With this use of realism, the story actually felt as if it actually could have, or would have happened in real life, and is not simply a novel. Plus, the added suspense that accompanied the stalker served to have; this story transcended a simple teenage romance novel, into something much more wonderful. Kat Lieu has created a wonderful story and a definite read for anyone who likes their romance dramas with some action, suspense, and spectacular cast of characters. I hold nothing but anticipation for her next upcoming novel Serpentine Spell and anything else she has in the works.
