I eagerly jumped in after the book was highly recommended by multiple readers. I hated it and found it so stupid I couldn't even finish. I didn't care about any of the characters and was annoyed by their conversation and behavior. I also didn't find it to be terribly dark, and I like them dark. ( ) This was a fast, dark read with some great characters, but it also left quite a bit to be desired. Writing-wise, there were far too many cliches, and the story itself was a fair bit too predictable--to the extent that nothing really came as a surprise, even in the most dramatic moments. The romance also felt too automatic, and too much like insta-love. It would have been nice to see the feelings develop on her side as well as his, in a way where readers could actually believe in the romance/love by the end, rather than feel like it is too situational/automatic. I guess, overall, I just wanted a bit more depth of something other than emotion/angst, and more detail when it came to the two protagonists interacting with each other. I never felt particularly attached to either, and that became more and more of a problem as the book became more predictable. I don't think any of these weaknesses are necessarily damning problems, but when there's no one thing which is outstanding (writing, characterization, plotting...), they start to amount to a book which just isn't as engaging as it should be. I'm not sure whether I'd read another work by this author or not--it was a fast read, so I might, but probably only if it weren't self-published. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
