'Til the World Ends
by Julie Kagawa, Ann Aguirre, Karen Duvall
Um...well, the first book was okay, the second was pretty good and the third I didn't like at all.
Dawn of Eden
These zombie/vampire apocalypse stories aren't really my jam, but I liked this one okay. It was lacking depth and the connection between the characters didn't really feel like anything other than, "hey we may be the only two people so let's be together"--it certainly didn't feel like love. nothing really new or earth-shattering, overall i put it at about a 2.5-3 star
Thistle and Thorne
I did actually really like this. It was actually not too hard to imagine the setting, the way the world turned to absolute shit. What it turned people into, the struggle and what people would be willing to do to survive, but also how some turn into absolute monsters because of power and greed and fear. I liked both the characters, I liked that while nothing happened between them, there were some moments between them where you felt a little something, and hoped for more, however, if something would have happened it would have felt totally out of place, so that was pretty perfect. I would read more about these two characters. I think Thorne is pretty awesome.
4 stars
Sun Storm
I did not like this at all. The overall idea wasn't bad, but I just could not get into it. I did not like Sarah. Well, its not that I didn't like her, I just really didn't care at all. I think Ian could be a pretty interesting character, but we were left with flat encounters and what I considered to be awkward dialogue given the amount of time they knew each other. Throw in the token guy-gone-mad-wants-everyone-to-die and it was just not for me.
1.5-2 stars
