Grace by Elizabeth Scott
3.0
I'm really not sure what to think of this one, to the point where I don't know if three stars is giving it too much credit or severely underrating it. Consider it a placeholder rating until...umm, probably forever, really.
Elizabeth Scott (aka Elizabeth Spencer) is one of my most favorite authors ever, especially with YA contemporary or YA Urban fantasy (which I *guess* is what this is?) which are two of my most favorite genres. I really like her writing style and it's certainly present here, and she does a good job building up her characters and doing world-building and yet...it still feels empty and pointless, like I'm still waiting for a resolution. I guess the theme of the book is you should always choose life instead of death? That everyone has a right to live? I mean, I dig those themes but...it just feels like we're getting a very narrow slice here which, I guess is the point. Hence why I'm...not quite sure how to rate it.
