Blood to Poison by Mary Watson
1.0
I have three things to say about this book:
1. slang
2. the out-of-the-pocket conclusions to which Savannah arrived
3. the INCONSISTENCIES
The amount of times that this book made me say 'I'm going to lose my fucking mind' is literally uncountable and I have witnesses to prove this. At first I was going to rate it 2⭐ just because the sheer cringe of some of the parts made me burst into maniacal laughter but looking back at those instances....not even a hint of fun time there.
I just couldn't get over the inconsistencies no matter how hard I tried. You mean to tell me that Savannah doesn't remember Dex at all, doesn't as much as think of him after their first meeting up until the point when she meets him again and then SUDDENLY she's going on about how she's longed for his ass??? PLEASE. And the same thing happens towards the end of the book when she's all like 'I have to get out of here. I'm so terrified of Dex that I can't even be in the same house' (paraphrasing it, obviously) and literally TWO CHAPTERS LATER she declares how she 'cannot bring herself to be afraid in his presence'. GOD.
Not even going to talk about the time when she was describing her dream, woke up and proceeded to SOMEHOW come to the conclusion that he tried to get into her room. No further explanation apparently.
Oh and lastly, can someone please explain what was Rosie's ultimate goal/motivation to become the Jackal supposed to be? Girl had literally no motivation behind her actions whatsoever. The whole 'plot twist' came totally out of the left field.
I picked up this book since I've been eyeing it for quite some time in the bookstore but oh boy was I greatly disappointed. Everything from the characters to the setting and the magic system felt severely underdeveloped...It's a no for me.
