I love novellas especially when they bridge the story between books. They are meant to be short and should progress a story and characters further into development which would add more depth to the next book in the series. This one did nothing. Not a single thing. The characters and storyline did not progress.

I didn't see a reason for this novella. I feel like this should have been on either part of the final pages for the second book or the beginning of the next book.

I am not even sure I am going to continue this series. It has been such a disappointment.… (altro)

I have been mulling over this book for over an hour and a half. Part of me loved the first book because we got introduced to this wild society filled with secrets, selections, and tons of drama. This one had the same vibe to it but it came out mediocre and the entire storyline was beginning to grate on my nerves. The characters never seemed to have any growth to them and the whole drama was getting stale. There was nothing within this story that would have salvaged my feel for it. There were time jumps, and Samantha's temper tantrums (that seemed to be growing old especially since she is supposed to be an almost adult).

No matter how much I tried to enjoy this book, I would have to step away from it. Go do something and come back, but it never seemed to help the story to get any better. I had so many expectations for this book because I enjoyed the first one. The second ones are usually the most promising, but this one was not.

I am hoping the upcoming third novel restores my faith in this series.… (altro)
