Hmm, I'm not sure if these books aren't good or if I'm over this type of book. Kennedy is one of my favorite authors. I've read nearly all her books. I thought this series was going to be great, but it's been a disappointment.

I have the same issue I had in Con's book. WHEN DID THEY FALL IN LOVE!? Seriously?!

This was also waaaaay too angsty for me.

Parts of this book is a sucker punch to the gut. This is slow burn to it finest, but there are something missing to make it perfect.

If you find woody Allen romantic, this is for you. This is a book that glorified and romanticized exploitation of vulnerable children. I'll never read this author again. Disgusting

Love the series, love the author. But this is all angst. A lot of long-winded inner monologues in a tragic tone, which are often just repeating the scenes we just read in the chapter before but from the other characters perspective. Not gonna lie, most of the time I was bored and skimming the endless paragraphs. After the 50-60% mark things get a bit more interesting, but still with the occasional repetitiveness.

Il primo 2 che do alla Kennedy e ci sono rimasta malissimo a dir poco. Mi aspettavo fuoco e fiamme da questo libro, invece ci sono solo due cuccioli impauriti, angst e romance super forzati, flashback di violenza gratuiti a voler giustificare delle altrimenti reazioni no sense.
Boh.
È tutto un vorrei ma non posso.
Sloane, dove sei finita?
Ridammi storie come quelle di Mace, Ronan, Hawke e Mav. Forza
