Valentine by Jodi McAlister
3.0
This was an okay read but I would be pushing it to call it good. It all felt very random and very little was fully explained.
The first half of the book was like a poorly executed crime cross YA novel and the entire book was filled with 'but that is so cliche' remarks that trying to go against cliches became annoying. There were parts where I thought it would finally start adding up and making sense, but then more crazy just got added in.
I will read the next book, which I hope will tidy up this story, but I am not holding my hope too high. That may sound cruel but this book only just earned the third star because there is potential for this story and I am curious to see where it goes.
