Review: Mixed feelings...

After reading Always Consequences, I have very mixed feelings on whether the book was actually good or not. The summary is slightly misleading due to the fact that she couldn't give a rat's rear end about the other hostages so its not like she was actually trying to save anyone to life but her own. Someone else left a comment about her relationship with her brother. There apparently was no relationship and the writer threw him in there for amusement rather than an actual character. He could have been the guy at the gas station for all the care that was shown towards him. At the beginning of the book Cassie and her brother appeared to be tight and had a good relationship but once they were captured he was just any other random person and did not matter to her even if the writer attempted at some point to make it seem like she did by just throwing him in there occasionally. There were several phrases that were extremely overused such as: I hate you, you don't even like me, you're at a-hole, you're a bastard, you don't even like me, blah blah blah, repeat repeat and more repeat. There were several others but those were some of the main ones. The characters were not very believable for the most part and it was hard to try to put yourself into the book and the situations. I doubt there are many people who would be like oh please just touch me and have sex with me after you just beat the crap out of me. I find it hard to believe that people would actually enjoy reading about a girl who has the way too much attitude and a stuck on herself being held hostage and the only thing she can think of is sex. That is just plain ridiculous. The good part of the book however, is that at least its flowed nicely. It was an easy read even if I half the book was just repetitive. I give the book three and a half stars because I can't bring myself to give it 4. I am glad however that I was able to get the book free instead of having to pay for it.
