Toxic Heart by Theo Lawrence

4.0

What to say about the book...

I think if I could give 1/2 points I would give them but so just 4 from 5 ...I just can't give full stars...some stuff really bothered me.
First of all let’s talk about the good points. I thought the second book couldn't be that good as the first book but even if I gave more stars the first book I really enjoyed the second book equally as the first book. I finished the first book in a day and the second book nearly in a day ... usually it takes me 3 or 5 days to finish a book. What I really really really love in Toxic heart is that not everything is about the topic love. I really enjoy the hunt of the heart and how everything breaks and breaks farther apart in A. world. I really love how she becomes a badass character. She is not just a little dumb girl ....maybe she could be a bit cleverer but she is still naive... But that is why she is loveable .I love the book development and that every character is not perfect and has actually faults in her/his character.
Now a bit negative stuff which contains spoilers....Seriously the ending is not as good as it could be. Sure the Author "wants" to write three books...but he could have finished this book series with the second book.
Also...the love story...I don't ship A. and Hunter that much but a girl who has found her first love WOULD NEVER BREAK UP WITH HER BOYFRIEND IN THAT WAY. Seriously that how guys break up with girls ...I thought the whole time when they talked a girl would never let go the topics that easily and a girl would run after Hunter after he said such stuff. A girl would try to save her boyfriend and don't say what do I care I still have busy stuff to do. Because if it is your first love you couldn't give up your boyfriend like that you would fight for your first love. Also no girl would react like A. reacted with Truk, because a girl would panic xDD. We actually would think more about what happened. But we would stay with Hunter ....sad news but we would. But the author is a man XD which I sometimes could read ....that’s not how girl’s feelings for something’s are. In the first book I think he did a better job with this problem. I remember I was really surprised how a man could get a girl that well. The next thing what bothered me is the hunt after heart is super exciting and a page turner but at the end I thought...okay we get it...the hunt is long but that long ...is a bit too long. But that is maybe not my cup of tea...but what I really disliked in the second book is why can't A. stay normal just not a supernatural being. I think that wasn't necessary I really couldn't stand the ending that’s why the book isn't for me 5 stars. I really love A. grounded not...magical that’s why everybody can empatherise with her.
