This book isn't worth my time. I expected so much more, and this is definitely not it. I tried, I really did. But Uhm.... [image]
All I can say is nope.
This book isn't worth my time. I expected so much more, and this is definitely not it. I tried, I really did. But nope. [image]
I didn't like the characters, the plot, the way it was written. The only thing I did find interesting was the actual idea, but frankly, I'm pretty sure I won't continue with this series.
Would I recommend it? No, probably not. There are so many books out there worth reading. [image]...more
So, this is definitely one of the worst books I've read this year. The characters were 1.5 DNF at 50% [image]
I gave up when I found out this is a duet.
So, this is definitely one of the worst books I've read this year. The characters were absolutely awful and the plot wasn't much better. Let me make you a "Why not" list...
1. The characters are idiots. Not just one of them, but both. They talk like 10-year-olds and act like 16-year-old hormonal little teens. [image]
2. They are way too fictional, even for a (fictional) book. I need to give up too much reality to actually try and read this. [image]
3. Bad writing. I expected a bit more from this author... I got bored of the book even before finding out it's a 2-book series. [image]
4. Boring, typical, cliche plot. I don't expect a lot from a romance, but well, when you have nothing else, at least make the plot a bit more interesting. [image]
5. Idiots (I know, I mentioned this before, but believe me, it's worth mentioning again). [image]
So, in case you haven't noticed, I do not recommend this book. To anyone. Ever.
If I knew what I was getting myself into, I'd probably never have started reading this book. Why? Because the MCs are highschool kiMixed feelings [image]
If I knew what I was getting myself into, I'd probably never have started reading this book. Why? Because the MCs are highschool kids and usually that means they're not the best and brightest in the bunch. Well, these characters were not much different. [image]
First, it has a cliffhanger (again, I had no idea). Second, the kids are partially idiots (especially the chick). Third, the sex scenes are... well... Let me tell you something: I have nothing against out-of-the-box sex scenes, to each his own I guess. But these were a bit too much, even for an open-minded person. A bit too bloody for my taste.
Why 3 stars, not 2 or less? The writing style was good (really good) and I was hooked, despite the fact that I didn't like the plot or the characters. Even more, it made me want to read the second book as well. So well done, BB Easton! [image]...more
It's not that the book was bad, it was that I couldn't get into it.
It's a different writing style thanDNF. Well, now this is an unusual read. [image]
It's not that the book was bad, it was that I couldn't get into it.
It's a different writing style than what I'm used to, and the whole book feels like it starts in the middle. Not the middle of the action (that would've been ok), but after some things happened. Yes, I get it, it should make me more curious, but it annoys me. I don't have the patience (and the time) to read 200 pages to see if the characters really are idiots or if they had reasons to act like one.
Anyway.
I've read some good reviews and seen some people who liked this, so maybe it's worth a try, just don't get your hopes up....more
Typically, I really enjoy Emma Chase. This book though, well... How can I put it nicely... it was BAD! [image]
So many people What just happened? [image]

So many people loved it and it has a 4.6 rating atm. Why?! I don't get it.
The characters were annoying, the plot was annoying, the writing was annoying, everything was just... well... [image]
Maybe it's one of those "it's not you, it's me" cases. It wasn't so bad to deserve 1 star, maybe 2 is too low, but full 3 stars is too much. We definitely need the option to give half points.
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this book, especially to Emma Chase lovers, they might be disappointed....more
It's been ages since I found a book so bad that it just asked to be DNFed. The main reason I didn't like this one (what I read, anyway): 1.5 DNF [image]

And I do mean idiots! The MC, the girl, was so annoying and weak, I usually prefer my heroines to be determined and strong and smart. Ok, I get it, she has good reason to be what she is, but that doesn't mean I have to like her. [image]
I get why people liked this one, the writing is pretty good, that's the only reason I didn't give this book a full 1 star. ...more

Ok, it didn't go well. It was boring and annoying and I didn't really like the all-powerful chick. I didn't enjoy the writing style and the plot didn't do it for me.
What I did appreciate, though, why I feel like it deserves more than 1 stars, is the fact that it's different (and I loooove different!) [image]
How was it different? Well, the main character is a 600-year-old (or 800?), extremely powerful being. She's not your typical UF character, the soon-to-be badass. Nope, she actually is a kick-ass chick! She is way more powerful than her (pretty sure he is the future lover) partner. So yeah, I believe that this is something one should appreciate in UF, it doesn't really happen.
On the other hand, this is probably why I didn't really fall for her, because I couldn't get to see her grow into the person she is. I can't seem to be able to make up my mind. [image]
Anyway, all in all, it's an interesting book to read. It's different. I wouldn't recommend it, but who cares, right?...more

I finished this book about 2 weeks ago and frankly, I can't remember almost anything. I know that I was annoyed a lot of times and that I didn't really like the writing style. The characters were pretty flat and they didn't make me feel anything.
The interesting thing is the plot. It would have had potential had the characters and writing style been a bit better.

Ok, so I understand a lot of things and I'm pretty tolerant but this book was just annoying!
Don't get me wrong, I try not to judge sexual stuff ((view spoiler)[ although the pissing on a person was a bit over the top (hide spoiler)]), but everything felt like it was a tad too much, like the author was trying too hard (and well, it didn't really work out for her).
The chick seemed ok at first then she became an annoying little brat and it kind of went downhill from there. I'm just not a big fan of drama. [image]
Why 2 stars (not less)? Well, for some reason I did stick till the end (skipping half a book still counts as finishing, if you get to the ending, ok?!). And, I hate to admit, I've read worse....more
So much drama in not so many pages, it was annoying.

The writing style was definitely something else though (bad or good, I still can't decide), so it made for an interesting reading. I also found out some new things, so it deserves 3 stars at least. I dunno, maybe you should just read it to decide for yourself. ...more

I'll leave the review I wrote, although it's about a totally different book (too bad I can't remember which one).
So. This book definitely goes into the "Nope" category. [image]
It didn't start out awful, it just got worse and worse. I don't like the characters, they feel so flat and they have absolutely no chemistry. I don't understand the male MC, he seems to be an idiot (and you all know how much I love idiots!).
It's boring and predictable (to be expected in a romance) and it's one of those books I dunno why I didn't DNF. Not awful, just bad. [image]
now for the review of the book that I can't remember but that's definitely not this one
Well this is confusing [image]
When I started this book I didn't know what to expect. I definitely didn't expect a dark romance. And when I say dark, I mean DARK . [image]
It's not a book for the faint of heart. It has (view spoiler)[rape, murder, manipulation (hide spoiler)] and so much more, but you should know what you are getting into when you start this read.
Good parts, it's really well written, it was hard to put down (even though I wanted to so many times). The characters are interesting, definitely something else.
If you decide to read it, be ready for a hard plot to swallow. [image]...more

**Spoilers and sarcastic review ahead, stop while you have the chance **
So, she had a difficult childhood and she tells a prisoner about all her problems. He gets out of jail and kidnaps her to make her feel better and get over all her problems (because that is definitely gonna help...). She's all scared and crying and wanting to get away but he's confused, doesn't know why she acts like that (the thought that kidnapping her is bad never even crosses his mind). [image]
He and his MC kill a man in front of her and in front of his 17-year-old son. Wow, he's so strong and powerful! [image]
He ruins her life, gets her to quit her job, threatens her every chance he gets and kind of tortures her mentally. But he only does it because he wants her to become stronger. What a wonderful, thoughtful man! [image]
I stopped when she starts falling for him because, well, it was just too much for me....more
