Shadow Kin by M.J. Scott
2.0
This one was meh to me.
I think the problem was mostly that I didn't like Simon. I found him to be a judgmental douchecanoe. And Lily was ... eh, she had no backbone.
I was disappointed, because I thought the world was interesting. But the combination of the hypocritical Simon (I can lie to you and manipulate you, but if you keep one thing from me, you're an irredeemable whore) and the doormat Lily (no one will ever love me, I don't deserve it *gets emo snake-bite piercing*)... plus the asinine secondary characters (I hate the crusader types, so the Templars, and the Fae with their egomaniacal shitty behavior, were really really irritating).
Also, there was an alternating first-person POV in this book, and I have to admit it bugged the heck out of me.
Meh.
