S. A. Hunter (2)

I felt this book was a bit of a let down. I couldn't get into it for the longest time at all until a little over half way through it. Even then, I wasn't *that* into it.

I also couldn't relate to any of the characters. Mary was too much of a stereotypical goth which really annoyed me. Stereotypes in books drive me crazy especially goth ones. I didn't care what happened to Mary or anyone really.

The plot was a bit boring...trying to get rid of an evil ghost. Even the ending was a bit sudden and disappointing.

This book was just okay. Nothing special. I won't be reading the next book in the series.… (altro)

Picked this up because the description of ghost talking teen seemed fascinating.

It started as a normal Teen book, with the first day of school. Main character is an outcast, against the most popular girl. (Expected tropes.) New kid thrust into path of main character. Outcast MC can hear and talk to ghosts. Parents dead, raised by grandmother. Best Friend is more outgoing than MC. Yet has a daddy that protects her right to be weird.

Here's where the author starts to lose me. We've already established that the MC can hear ghosts. She doesn't like it, but can hear them. Also doesn't necessarily see them. So why WHY when she hears a strange voice, does she not automatically assume it's a ghost until proven wrong? Why is she freaking out when she realizes that She hears a voice and her new MMC interest doesn't? Or does she? The sad part is the more interesting aspect of the character is being buried behind a drama llama romance plot.

The ghost thing finally does come forward in the plot. It feels like the romance angle is interfering with the rest of the story, like the book started as a romance but couldn't create a full story so added the ghost side of things. It feels like the MC is a little dense. I spotted the ghost's anchor and the possession as soon as the author showed it.

Interesting ending. It's not horrible. There's a few editing errors, but nothing that the big houses wouldn't also suffer. On the fence, so a solid 3 stars.… (altro)

This story is pretty cliche, and the author lays it on thick. Jesus.

How many more stories about the sad bullied child with no friends do we need?

Obviously the new boy she meets in the first chapter is her love interest.
Obviously the cheerleader is her arch nemesis.

Everything is so obvious.

There is also an over use of not commonly used words in this novel. Its supposed to be for teenagers. Teens don't talk like that. it's like the author pulled random words from a thesaurus just to sound more intelligent.

It's also not written well. So that's a thing. spelling and Grammer mistakes everywhere.

Oh! And who doesn't know the zip code to Beverly Hills. Seriously. Even for a fake character she's stupid. It's pretty much common knowledge.

I think if this idea was re-worked, and maybe some better dialog, and this could be a good story.… (altro)
