I enjoy fantasy and paranormal books... vampires, shifters, faeries, etc. But this was too unbelievable for me. Instalove is one thing, but we didn't even get to see these lovers get to know each other... at all!

To be honest I never thought I would read another book by this author. The book itself was alright, I miss the action, the romance was alright.. but I do wish they chose to dig into the relationships or talked more about the other matters that were looming in the story.

Nothing in this book was developed well. The characters were not fleshed out, the pacing was off, it probably should have been 100 pages longer. Overall just a big disappointment.

Maybe it’s an enjoyable book, but I felt like the characters lacked depth, and it’s not what I’m looking for right now in my reading.

It was definitely something! I went through the emotions going through it,
I think that death at the end was rushed but it was still shocking.

I feel let down. The beginning of the story was good. But then nothing of interest ever happened to build up the story. And then all of a sudden, everything was rushed, which had me thinking, “how did we get here so fast? Where was the conflict? Did I miss a few chapters?” I literally flipped through the book to check if I missed anything.

The plot was flat and minimal, the characters were disappointing. I couldn’t picture their faces, clothes or even the places they lived. Descriptions were left wanting. I finished reading the book knowing next to nothing about the characters (the main character didn’t even know herself, until a certain someone starts complementing her...). Where was the romance??? I wish there was more substance!

I really enjoyed Kiera Cass books, especially The Selection series (America’s story anyway), and had been looking forward to this one for a while. The book ended with a hill-hanger, but the majority of the book I was bored. I may read the next book, but definitely won’t spend the money to purchase it.
