Ugh. Thank goodness this was free. I was under the assumption this was a book, but after downloading it, I realized it was a novella. In fact, the whole series is comprised of novellas.
Honestly, I couldn't even finish this. I got to this pivotal scene, where the girl's (I can't even remember the main character's name, and I literally just looked away from the page) mother was just killed in front of her, she is about to be kidnapped, and strange people bust in to try and save her. Through all this action, I felt nothing. Not one single thing. In fact, I was focused more on the lack of flow from sentence to sentence than the actual events. The writing, the story, and the characters, are forced and sub-par.
Seriously, don't waste your time on this. It somehow has a 3.83 rating, butttttt...
Learn from my mistakes. Put the book down and back away slowly!
**UPDATE**
Are you freaking kidding me?! I just saw a list for Best Independent Novels and this was ranked #2. 2nd?!?! As in, THIS IS THE 2ND BEST INDEPENDENT NOVEL THESE PEOPLE HAVE READ?!? Have they been reading the same book as me?! Oh jeez, I think I just died a little on the inside... it actually, physically hurts my head when I think about people enjoying this that much.
