The Conspiracy of Us
by Maggie Hall
I was so sure this book would not disappoint me, I even bought the second book prior to reading the first installment. Yes, the second book was purchased at the Dollar Tree, however, it is still very rare for me to buy a sequel without reading the first book.
But I had such faith in this book...
UGHHH I WANTED TO LOVE IT *sighs dramatically*. The covers are gorgeous and the synopsis makes it sound like there's this deeply captivating love triangle and who doesn't love a good love triangle... But this book lacked any sort of romance consisting of more than two brain cells. The characters were bland and robbed of chemistry and depth. The majority of the book just felt like it was lagging--- it ranted on and on about history that supposedly created the Circle that was Avery's direct family, those with the violet eyes *cringe*. First of all, history isn't really my thing unless it tells a story instead of dumping meaningless dates and names that minimize the lives and emotions of the people that actually worked hard to create history and make the world what it is today (this is why I hate history class, it gives no emotion as to what actually happened). Anyways, what I'm attempting to articulate is that THIS BOOK TRIES TO SOUND HISTORICAL WHEN IT IS IN FACT ALL RANDOM BULLCRAP.
Just don't get your hopes up about this YA-39 Clues ripoff-failure at romance- attempt at a YA adventure-novel. Thankyou for your time.
