Tainted Black by Shanora Williams
3.0

[I read this via Kindle Unlimited]

This book....I saw this book go by on my feed a week or 2 ago - color me intrigued. I read the sample of it on my kindle, and decided: "eeeehhhh.....maybe...?" A few days later I noticed it was actually available through KU, so I decided: "eh, what the hell?"

I didn't read at all yesterday, I am thoroughly ashamed of myself. I couldn't decide what to read, so I decided on this. I am still unsure what to think about it. I liked it, overall. I am not really a huge fan of the younger/older thing, but the way this was written, I found myself devouring it in one sitting. I liked the main characters. I thought their lives and the people around them with all their dramatic bullshit and problems was maybe a little to unrealistic for my liking, but the main characters, I liked. Theo was hot, just sayin'

I can't say I liked the ending....at all. On one hand, it makes sense, I can see why it ended that way....
Spoilerbut on the other hand, I really, really, really liked them together....They were so happy, and they could have made it work. YES, it really upset his daughter...but, she was a grown woman, and she was kind of a bitch in general....I think it was really sad that Chloe gave up her happiness for someone else. ALSO, that epilogue was pretty shitty....I mean, he is all obsessed and in love with her, and 10 months later he's meeting someone else and eventually marrying her...?? AND CHLOE, are you fucking kidding me? Picking HIM, knowing that he fucked her ex lovers wife, which is HOW SHE ENDED UP GETTING MURDERED? Ugh. ANYWAY, like I said, I get why they ended up not being together,
but I just thought the epilogue was poorly thought out, and I just wish it had all ended differently.
