Trying To Live With The Dead by B.L. Brunnemer
2.0

I have mixed opinions towards this book.

I LOVED the story concept. It was so cool. Plus, the guys were so likeable and threw honestly all seemed so cute. I also liked how they all had distinct personalities and seems like developed characters. I only wish there was some kissing in this book!

However, I HATED the fact that this entire story was centered around the concept of ‘I’m not like other girls.’ It was so annoying. This entire book was filled with female stereotypes: it said girls were bitchy, dramatic, makeup-loving, basically any stereotype you could think of. It made me unbelievably angry, and is really the main reason I gave this book 2 stars. That and the fact that there was no romance whatsoever. At least give me a kiss in a romance book! I also didn’t like that violence was the answer to everything. It made everything pretty one dimension.

I may try to read the next book, but I am very frustrated that this book was so sexist. I am hoping it will get better as the series continues.
