There is No Light in Darkness

You mustn't be afraid of love, Blake. No matter what you go through in life, don't be afraid to love. Loving is the only thing that keeps us sane. If it weren't for love, the suffering we experience wouldn't be worth it. If it weren't for the suffering, we wouldn't cherish the good things life gives us.

3.5 stars.

So I kept starting this book over and over again trying to get into it and today I finally stuck with it long enough that it was able to suck me in. But man was I waiting for a moment when SOMEBODY would tell the protagonist SOMETHING about what she really was. The author put if off for so long that by the end–after all the bullshit the main character was thinking she was crazy even though she knew the guy she had feelings for (and was a dumb jackass) knew what was going on–I didn't even care what the girl was. God, I feel like this should be one of those books that people take apart quote by quote to show how dumb it was. Seriously, to paraphrase, there were moments when the main character was mad at herself for feeling hot and bothered while also being absolutely terrified by the male love interest. I mean, come on. I have NOTHING against bad boys. When they're not absolute assholes who are so hot and cold you no longer ship the main couple, you just want to punch the guy and hope the main girl gets a clue. Ugh, as I'm typing this I'm changing my rating from 2 to 1 stars, because there really wasn't anything to redeem this book.
