so….i said i never judge a book by its cover in that i wont dismiss it because i do not like the cover…i will now be applying the opposite rule to my reading search…i will never again read a book solely based on the fact that i DO like the cover because this was the shittiest semi good book I’ve ever read in my existence…
i think it would be easier for me to start off with what i did like about the book…it had potential…this book had the potential to be a REALLY good book…it was written well … and when i say that i mean grammatically. and the actual plot could have been really good had the author not been lazy and actually took the time to develop the damn story.
it was 300 pages of what the hell! — first of all the plot holes in the entire story was just too much. The main character was so dense and thick and just stupid, it got to the point that i really just wanted to smack her. — not to mention the holes in her story-line…she’s a loner who is anti social with no friends at all, she doesn’t go out and she only recently gained the ability to see because she was born blind…yet the girl is a fashionista with seven jeans and thousand dollar, limited edition Louboutins….now explain to me how the hell that’s possible and why it’s necessary when she doesn’t go out!? who the hell is going to see the clothes? and she’s only been part of the ‘seeing’ world for about 8 months…how the HELL does she have all of this exquisite fashion sense?
Now let’s move on to where the book needed some serious development…she’s thrust into this ‘relationship’ of sorts with a guy named Sean….at first their back and forth banter was fun…but then when out of nowhere their relationship turned into something more…i was just like wtf? there was no build up, no dating, nothing! — then out of LEFT FIELD! some guy named Eric is introduced…and after a freaking week she’s entrusting her life to this guy and going away to Utah with him to stay away from Sean because she’s been so easily convinced that he’s trying to kill her…when up until this point he has been doing NOTHING but saving her life!
So she’s in Utah for god knows how long because Eric set her up and sold her to some pack…i think she was being raped by the pack. i don’t really know because the author just kind of skimmed over that part - only really giving any real indication that, that was what was happening by mentioning that Ruby (that’s the characters name) was relieved when she got her period after the whole ordeal was over….anyway while she’s in the cage getting raped and tortured some random, named Cooper comes out of nowhere and wants to save her…after some lighthearted banter and sarcasm (there’s ALOT of that in this book) he has the audacity to say to her “your defenses are always up” like what the fuck?! who says that to someone who’s been in a dungeon getting raped by over 50 people for who knows how long….and then she says. ‘the truth hurts’ ugh this book is stupid
oh yea..i forgot to mention that out of the blue its revealed to her by Eric that she’s a special kind of werewolf…called Rouge et Blanc who is really powerful and can easily kill, i don’t know whatever…
this book was just sloppy and all over the place and just dumb…not to mention dramatic as hell…half of the time i was reading it i thought i was reading a badly acted out soap opera, what with her falling down to her knees in despair, and everyone yelling at and shaking her unnecessarily.
my favorite line from the whole book though was when Ruby said “bitterness and grudge-holding were two of my finer qualities” …. AGAINST WHOM! bitch you have no friends or social life! are you holding a grudge against yourself?!
ugh….there are more parts to this book…how? i don’t know but i will most definitely NOT be reading them…just lord.
so…Recommendation? —- find something else to read…seriously.
