4 out 5 stars
Fear sucks.
The cover said that
the action was nonstop which really was made me decide to give this a shot and
after reading the prologue I was sold! It was great but Chapter 1 quickly
deflated any excitement I'd had from the
prologue.
There were some
sentences I had to read two or three times to get and some of the writing was
just… odd.
By the end of the
second chapter I wasn't sure how I felt about the characters and even by the
end of the book I wasn't sure, nor was I attached to anyone . I also wasn't a
fan of the fact that there was no back ground on the love interest blossoming.
It seemed to jump right into the main character checking the hero out and
lusting over him but had no mention of a previous crush/lusting even though
they have been working side by side (almost 24/7) for the past 6 months.
Some aspects of this
novel felt… cluttered, forced and long winded. Over all the book left me
unsatisfied. Even 100 pages into the book I felt like it was just beginning and
I had to will myself to keep reading it. Hell, even with 100 pages left I felt
like we were just getting into the novel
Lastly, I didn't
like the way the book ended. It's not
that it ended badly, but I didn't feel emotionally gratified when it ended. I
felt like there was still more to be told.
Alright so there
were a lot of things I didn't like about this book but I still gave it a 4 star
review… and here is why:
As much as I felt
like this was 335 pages of set up, I mostly enjoyed it. No I didn't have any
emotional attachment to the characters and I could have easily put the book
down and forgotten about it but I think I would have thought about it in 5
years and wondered why I didn't finish it.
I'm not sure what it
was about this book that I actually liked but something in me said "This
is 4 stars." I know for sure that I will be giving the second book in the
series a shot- I just hope I enjoy it more.
