The Lost and the Chosen by Ivy Asher
2.0
What really threw me off that most was the fact that nobody acts how they should in this book. The 40 year old uncles act like teenagers. Vinna is supposed to be this bad ass loner but she just turns into a whiny, moody teen (she’s like 23). Then her and the guys act like they’re childhood best friends not even a day after meeting. This doesn’t just happen with the guys either, Vinna meets a girl in town and then a second later they are chatting like besties. Also why do authors try to force humour by making the character burst out laughing? It wasn’t that funny and it just makes me cringe.
The guys were also hard to tell apart. They were all just in a silly goofy mood the whole book. With WC books the love interests can easily fall into the stereotypical characters but I’d prefer that than a copy and paste.
The beginning was interesting. Then it was like a completely different book about 100 pages in. The theme and overall vibe went from a dark and mysterious woman who fights in rings to this light YA feel about a group of what I think acted more like teens messing around splashing in the water (literally, they were splashing in water). I just know these types of books aren’t for me and if I know what it was going to be like going in, I wouldn’t have picked it up.
