Black and Blue by Gena Showalter

2.0

Honestly, I wanted to like this book a lot. And I did, kinda but not as much as I wanted to.
I couldn't really feel the chemistry happen between Blue and Black in the beginning. They just seemed really annoying to me.
And Blue's incessent need to get Black out of his head was so annoying. It seemed like a plain old refrigerator reminded him of her and all he was trying to do in the first half of the book was to get her out of his head.
The world building.... There was none.
It seemed like Showalter just expected us to know what was going on and how the world was run. And since she didn't explain anything, all these random alien type creatures were popping up and she mentioned something about a New World Order. I was so lost in the sauce.
Usually in a series, the author gives you some backstory on what was going on but there really wasn't anything there.
The plot was not really engaging. It seemed like something she just tried to throw together. There was no twist and I seemed to be mixing up the villians in the book.
This book was a hot mess. And that is extremely disappointing for me since I love Gena Showalter...
