Blood Assassin by Alexandra Ivy

3.0

Bleh. Although I didn't read the first book, I was able to get the gist of the overall story just fine. I like the premise, but the execution was pretty painful. I hate, hate, hate when human characters in books refer to each other as males and females. I mean, I get that these people are not "norms," but they are still some form of human-type-being. Why can't they refer to each other as men and women?? Also, the author is incredibly over the top when she describes each of the protagonists as being the "best" at whatever their abilities are, but when those abilities are tested it's pretty mediocre. Finally, I can handle an alpha male, but this guy was a douche bag. Controlling, violent, condescending, etc... That is not attractive to me, and it should not be enticing to a female character that is supposedly some kind of badass.

Super lame waste of my time. I gave it 3 stars for the effort put in to the idea and world-building, but I may have been a little generous because I felt bad for hating the writing so much.
