The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
3.0
I picked this book as my "book talk" book for an assignment for one of my library school classes. I did my book talk without reading the entire thing (which we're not supposed to do to) but was just not into it when I was listening/reading this book...
It was not because the book wasn't good, but I was just not in the mood for it. I think I'm just done with vampires and YA paranormal novels--not that I was that into them to begin with. It's a good story though--I can see a lot of teen readers really getting into it. Lots of action and fight scenes, a kick-ass heroine, good world building. It just want for me personally.
I gotta mention though that the narrator for the audiobook, Therese Plummer, was EXCELLENT. She really took on the persona of Allison, which is great because it's in first person POV. She also did a great job with the voices of the different characters and overall brought the story to life. I'll definitely look for more books she narrated. I'm giving 5/5 stars on her narration alone.
