Darkness Bound by Stella Cameron

1.0

This book was impressively bad. It was actually so bad that I am impressed with it. I almost forgot that books could be this bad. Thank you for reminding me Stella Cameron.

Hmmmm, where to start. I guess where I usually do - with the characters. They were completely flat. Something about them just did not pop off the page for me. They seemed so emotionless and uncaring no matter what was happening. And the chemistry between the two mains? There was none. Because of this flatness, when Niles finally made his move, I was like "uhhhhh, what now, he likes her?!" And the whole bit where she was meant for him?? That was only idly mentioned - making me think I was reading a subsequent book in a series rather than the first book where you're supposed to introduce concepts like that. Brutal.

Also, the plot sucked. Although, I did like that werewolves were the bad guys - that doesn't happen too often - they're normally the heroes. I was not moved by the story here at all. Not to mention there were a lot of holes. Suddenly the werehounds could fly? Where the fuck did that come from. I didn't realize that dogs could fly - good on them - it wasn't explained at all, so the reason that they are able to fly wasn't given. Ugh. I'm done with this book.

At best, it was spotty. At worst (and most honestly), this is the worst book I've read in a while.
