Evernight by Claudia Gray
2.0
This book would have probably affected me more in my Twilight Phase. Nowadays, the vampire craze has really put me off to paranormal books, just because I don't really find them that interesting anymore.
This book follows Bianca as she begins her first year a new rich and fancy boarding school called Evernight. There she meets bad boy, Lucas, and class star, Balthazar. Two very different guys that create the love triangle. Twists and turns lead Bianca on a roller coaster of discovery or herself and others.
Now, I'm a big fan of Claudia Gray. In fact, she wrote my favorite series of all time, but paranormal is not her thing. This is her debut series, and it reads like a debut. It's too quick for the romance, the plot is lacking in places, plot holes everywhere, and "hopeful" tension that's not really there.
It had a good concept, but it was lacking in the character development and wasn't able to hold my interest for very long. I didn't really care for Lucas, Balthazar was okay. I was rooting for him more, to be honest. Lucas just seemed too... cardboard cutout of a bad boy. He started fights for no reason, constantly tried to be the hero, and was really just being annoying.
Balthazar at least worked on schoolwork, had a "not-so-snobby" personality for the typical rich kid. He was just a more interesting character all together.
Other than that, this book just didn't really do much for me.
