The Beautiful and the Damned by Jessica Verday

2.0

I think I've grown out of these types of books. It's not an age thing either, I just don't enjoy the fantasy, angels and demons, vampire and witch, YA romance genre anymore. I find that plot is usually forsaken for rushed romance that doesn't need to be there.

This book was the same. It could have been quite good, but it was so short and so rushed that I got nothing out of it. I didn't specifically realize it was a spinoff, but I don't think it made much of a difference. I felt like I don't really know the characters any better by the end of things and the story felt like 75% was slow buildup to 2 chapters of climax before everything was just neatly resolved.

Yeah...I think I've grown out of this genre. But that's on me, not the author.
