I have to say that book lately have been giving me a whole new perspective. Especially this one. What if you had a hard life, I mean a really hard one. One full of abuse, fear, and loneness. And someone offers everything to you. Education, money, a car, all for your blood. Would you take the offer?I...

This was, unfortunately, another book I had incredibly high expectations for that ended up letting me down horribly. And I do mean horribly. It had maybe one redeeming quality, but the rest of the book was disturbing and poorly executed. The characters were cliché and obnoxious, with ridiculous name...

3.5/5 stars.When I started reading this book, I didn't really know what to expect. Honestly this is one case where the summary doesn't really tell you a whole lot about what's going on, so I basically went into this with no expectations.

Blech! What a disappointment! I enjoyed the first 2 books but this one was ridiculous. I'm annoyed at how it ended. I hate Ian, and she turned a good guy uncharacteristically into an asshole! I dunno just thought it was choppy, the plot seemed thrown together. I am only going to read the last book t...

The beginning of this book was good, but it felt more like a short story expanded into a novel and the author didn't really know where she was going with it.

Also appears on The Screaming Nitpicker.The first time I tried to get a copy of this novel after I saw someone give it a lot of praise, I was told no. I was sad and meant to ask for it again, but I got a copy through another avenue and all was well. Why do I keep forgetting that publishers usually t...
