A few things here. I almost DNF but I was curious about the plot so finished the book. But the writing was not great. Way too many superlatives. “Fastest he ever seen,” “more than I could imagine,” “unimaginable,” “…than I’d ever seen him do.” More creative adjectives or metaphors would have elevated this book significantly.
The other big thing is this is about teenagers and a big theme of the book was lustful thoughts and descriptions between the 2 main characters. This really bothers me. No way I would let a teenager read this. Along those same lines, the “love” story was based entity on lust and some magical attraction…nothing else. I didn’t believe it.
