***All my reviews are done in the form of me answering questions***
What made me pick this book up:
The cover was really pretty and it definitely made me want to read it. Also the little snippet it has on the front "One Deadly Weekend" I like death, and weekends.
What did I like about the cover:
I like the cover with the chair that has the target on it the best. It looks so pretty and regal. I don't care much for the other one.
What made me read this book:
Of course the synopsis sounded great. Also it matched for a task.This is one of those that I saw before it came out and just had to read it.
What did I like the most:
I liked the idea of it the most I think. A weekend away with a bunch of strangers, and it turns deadly? Oh yeah, sounds like every slasher book I love.
The characters were okay. I did like Shafeen a lot too. He seemed nice and really cared.
The story could have been better.
And I liked the accent of the narrator. Though it made me have to listen at a slow speed.
What didn't I like:
All the rest of the characters. I felt like I couldn't really connect to them.
The main character talks about how awful Henry is, but there was nothing that really... showed how awful he was. I'm trying to explain what I mean without giving too much away. What I'm trying to say is there is no line between him being good and him being awful. Yes, he's doing is awful. But there's no clear point where all of the sudden you're like, yes he is awful.
I also don't feel like there was much surprise to the book. It was so anti climactic and just wasn't as thrilling as I was hoping or as it could have been. Everything that happens comes to zero surprise and it's just kind of... meh.
I was expecting so much more from this book and it just didn't happen.
Would I read the rest of the series/more from this author?
I would definitely try one more book by her. Maybe it's just a one off chance that it was slow.
Meh. Just meh. I was hoping for so much more. But I had no connection to this book.
“The hunter…became the hunted,” she translated haltingly. “The hounds…were struck with a wolf’s frenzy…and tore him to pieces as they would a stag.” ― M.A. Bennett, S.T.A.G.S.
