It took a while to get into it but once I'd settled into the story and the writing style I couldn't put the book down. I've read some of Lauren Kate's other series – Fallen – but I didn't know how similar or dissimilar Teardrop was going to be. I didn't really know what to expect going into Teardrop. Still coming to terms with her mother's death, Eureka has to deal with the knowledge that she knew less about her mother than she thought and the bigger picture may be something she can't face on her own. Enter Ander – the boy who suddenly Eureka sees everywhere and seems to be tied to the story of a girl who cried an entire civilisation into the sea. It tells the story of Eureka, who lost her mother in a freak car accident and is thrown into a world of magic, mystery and mythology by the items her mother bequested her. Teardrop is the first book in Lauren Kate's riveting new YA series.
