Ruined

I felt like this book was... ok. There's nothing wrong with it. But there's nothing about it that particularly stands out from the crowd either. It felt very much like a run-of-the-mill ya/fantasy book. The world building felt a bit flat, and I didn't really understand some of the motivations of the characters, or why they chose certain actions. Everyone beyond the main character felt extremely 1-dimensional, and even she felt flat as well.

I've liked other Amy Tintera books, so I'm going to give the sequel a try and hope it's just the author hitting her stride in a new series.

Not a bad book too much romance for my taste but plenty of action. Part of a 3 books set!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'm super annoyed with that ending. I need Avenged now.

Hey everyone! Review for this book is on my blog!

There was something about this book that held me back from completely enjoying it. It could be that Morris spent 4 pages describing the Mardi Gras parade route. Or the walk that Lisette and Rebecca take to Tremé that is a four mile walk and we read about every. single. mile.

It was parts like that. Unnecessarily long passages that added very little, if anything, to the story. I found myself not caring, a lot.
