A review by clockworkbee
Cassie Scot by Christine Amsden
1.0
I do not understand all of the four and five star reviews for this book. Did I read a different book from everyone else? The main character, Cassie, is unbelievably immature and kind of dumb. I realize that she is 21 and pretty sheltered, but still. What 21 year old thinks she can buy a car with $200??
*Spoilers*
The thing with her boyfriend also really bothered me. She knows she doesn't love him and that he doesn't really understand her. So why does it take her the entire book to realize she should decline his proposal? Is she stupid? Her friends are idiots too since they all seemed to think that Cassie and her boyfriend were perfect for each other. This book just made me uncomfortable for most of the way through it. The part with her parents disowning her with no explanation was ridiculous and unbelievable. I also find it pretty hard to believe that a Sheriff's department would hire and 18 year old without a college degree as a deputy. I realize this is fantasy, but really?
*End of Spoilers
Unfortunately I did not see any redeeming qualities within this book. I'm irritated that I wasted an audible credit on it, and I definitely won't bother with the next one.
