Dark Flame by Alyson Noël
4.0
Three and a half stars. It was better than [b:Shadowland|19580|Shadowland|Peter Straub|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167258548s/19580.jpg|926255] but Ever is still a fucking idiot. The first half of the book she's got this 'monster' ranging her in that wants her to sleep with Roman because stupidly she bound herself to him. Didn't you figure out that problem in the book before this? Why would you try to undo it when magic just seems to be useless in this book? Plus her going through all the motions, crystals, herbs, soothing bath. Had me rolling my eyes. We get it, lame ritual, can you get on with it now?
But yeah Roman. I wanted her to sleep with him. It would've make this series a hundred-times better. No, he sense had to come over her and she knees him in the balls and he tells her to fuck off. I mean really, she's so tightly wound it would probably make her feel so much better.
This whole book is supposed to be about Haven and her change. At least that's what the summary leads you to believe. Yeah, Haven is barely in the book. Which kinda sucks, she's SO much more interesting. Even though she is a bit more of a bitch. I mean really? That last scene? Get over yourself and your boyfriend who you said doesn't love you. And yes it's all Ever's fault.
Damen's getting on my nerves too. He's way too understanding. He even basically came out and said he doesn't blame Ever for anything she did. OMFG WHAT? I'm sure she has to take the blame for a lot of the shit she has done.
Still don't buy this whole soul mates thing. Yeah, she'll probably end up with Damen but I want her with Jude. At least he doesn't think she's perfect no matter how many stupid things she does.
