Did not finish book.
I didn't finish this one. Not because it was bad, because it's not. It's just...not for me. I wanted something different. This book deals with a lot of good messages, despite it being a book about demons and Hell. There's the line between good and evil, love and friendship, forgiving and accepting yourself and all that jazz. And that's nice and all, but I wasn't expecting the sob fest. I wasn't expecting the over-the-top friendships with two chicks who bare their souls within one day of knowing each other and suddenly becoming BFFs. I wasn't expecting the insta-love to he quite so insta-lovey. Apparently Desi and Michael were in love? But for some reason, Desi doesn't really Remember, yet she's inexplicably drawn to him? Except for some reason, she's pissed at him and refuses to talk to him even though he shows up in her dreams?? I have no idea. Maybe it's because I didn't finish the book, or maybe it's because almost everything was so damn confusing. There's a lot of description with some things, yet there's an almost vague element to others, like the author wasn't sure how to put her ideas into words so she wrote in a way that conveyed the message without giving full detail. Okay, that's fine. But then there's also the heavy mythology aspect that's extremely confusing to anyone who's not educated on the subject. My only knowledge of any of this paranormal mythology crap comes from Supernatural. A TV show. So I'm not too educated on any of it.
Anyway, the book is very confusing and more often than not, I didn't know what was going on. Some drama happened and then there's some corny realization of love and friendship. Something I'd expect in a contemporary novel, not a paranormal one. I get that the main character didn't want to be part of Hell and struggled with her feelings and that screwed up her sense of who she was, but it didn't fit. It just didn't work out well.
So I decided I was done being confused, done with the insta love. I wasn't confused to the point of aggravation, just to the point where I was like "What? Huh?" But realized I didn't care and read on without really knowing what was going on because I wasn't invested in the story. So I figured why bother reading? And so the book got deleted.
