i found this book at the open book shelf and, curious about the hype and looking for something unchallenging to contrast academic reading, i decided to pick it up. 
well, the writing was worse than expected, the plot as predictable as i remembered the young adult fiction from my early teens. The worst part about this was that none of the characters seemed to have any personality or interests (besides an unspecific unbased interest in *art*), just hollow plot devices. The racy scenes were my only motivation to get through the endless inconsistencies and the ramblings of a painfully one dimensional and frankly frustratingly stupid narrator but even those scenes proved to be unrewarding lol.

Where to begin... this was just horrible. Literally a remix of Twilight. I don't get why this is popular. Read something better written, please.

Look it may not be the most well written and there are some grey lines that are towed in this book, but it definitely is addicting and I definitely will be reading the next books.  If you’re looking for an easy fantasy read that is slightly dark, it does the job.  It’s cliche, but if you’re just here for the vibes, do it.

If this were a fanfiction, I would have spared it. 
Instead, it is a dully published book, with the writing of a middle grader, and insufferable main character.
I liked the idea, though.
