Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer
1.0
I started this without really knowing what it was about. I've read Kemmerer before, and I suspected there would be some supernatural element to the story. It comes, eventually.
I wasn't a huge fan of this story. As a main character, Thomas was frustrating. The tunnel vision is acceptable to a point (he is a teenager, after all) but it made me question whether a lot of the action was necessary or contrived.
Also, I got really tired of the constant emotion from Charlotte's family, even if their hatred is explained later. Maybe it's the Romeo and Juliet parallelism but I was asking "are they morons, don't they see the issues with pursuing this relationship" for the entire book. I don't have sympathy for the Montagues and Capulets either.
I hated the ending. A book is allowed to end with everything tied up even if it's meant to start a series.
