isabellak0246 's review for:
Hooked
by Emily McIntire
I'm not gonna lie, I almost DNF'ed this one... why did I stick around?? Solely to see if Wendy lived and if she'd smarten up (Lemme save you the trouble - yes, she lived; no, she didn't smarten up nearly as much as she should've).
To be fair, the book started to get better... (then fell off the rails again, before getting back on... just to fall off again). When it was on track, the writing really seemed to flow, and I felt I could see/understand the story/the various characters.
There is definitely potential here (especially with Smee's plot twist), which is why I'm giving it 2 stars. However, the "on track" sections didn't redeem itself enough to compensate for the times I felt the writing was choppy, the characters falling flat, and especially not for how the book started or ended.
Will I read the others in this series?? Not sure yet... I've heard the others are much better, but unfortunately, I think I need a bit of space after this one before I give them a try.
