Thank you for your thoroughness and humor.<br />Wow, an F. That is a big deal for a review. Wow.

I'm half-laughing, half-cringing, the former because boy I don't know how a writer could write this badly, and the latter because um, creeper-stalkish behaviour and rape (even metaphorical) is so not cool.<br /><br />There are times when I wonder if authors even know how badly they write... :PYahong Chihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416313685829001737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-49396199044024696902012-04-27T11:49:31.372-07:002012-04-27T11:49:31.372-07:00I kind of knew this was a book I would probably ne...I kind of knew this was a book I would probably never read, but only because I'm not into paranormal romance/fallen angels/vampires/werewolves/etc etc etc. Thank you for your thorough review. Definitely one that will NOT make it into my reading list.

The only one that existed was "I'm a teen girl. Deal with it." Uh...No. For Nikki, she came back with ridiculous angst, no denying that, after having her life force sucked out of her by an Everling. That could do things to a guy or gal. Knock quite a few marbles around in the old noggin, if any are left after such drainage.<br /><br />Now, even when I did my little mention for this book at my blog, I didn't go into details about the whole stalker boy thing...but yeah, I'm not sure I understand what makes that attractive. What makes it cool that some dude will creep into your room and just be there, all the time, whether your want them there or not? That creeped me out in Twilight and that creeped me out in this book.<br /><br />The one thing I love about your review is your view points are not just thrown out there to be sticks or stones for the sake of being mean. Each negative or con of the novel was backed by examples. You even included fracking page numbers. If I write anything and you are the one to review it and you don't like it, THIS is the kind of review that I know I could stomach. You'd rip the story to shreds, but with honest examples for your viewpoint.<br /><br />Two thumbs up, Alz...and that's coming from someone who kind of liked the book. I really enjoyed your honest review of this novel.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-63945239762195254932012-04-27T06:59:33.512-07:002012-04-27T06:59:33.512-07:00Wow.
