I was really disappointed that this book didn't meet my expectations. My expectations, not anyone else's. When I DL it for free, I was expecting it to be so amazing. It didn't make sense from the start. We have Kate, who's self conscience and weak one moment, and headstrong and confident the next. This pattern repeated itself throughout the entire book. It would have made perfect sense for her to start out self conscience, only to gain confidence and maintain it for the remainder of the book.She was a college student who, mind you, never really went to class. The time frames didn't add up. I was so confused by all the going from one scenario to the next, without giving any details as to how they came about. Kate wasn't strong although, she was the main character. If the main character can't hold the attention of the reader, then the rest that follows won't.Jack, who's supposed to be this supernatural being, comes across Kate time and time again; until he can't deny the pull. They're all in love and wants to keep it a secret because of his parents. In comes Sebastian, Jack's twin brother, who the author clearly makes out as evil in the beginning. Sebastian put a curse on Jack when he found out Jack slept with his girlfriend by accident. This curse was never explained in it's entirety. After we find out about how they came to be, it still didn't make sense because more questions arose. If they were made from a science experiment, in which their biological mother was already pregnant at the time, how did they possess the power to curse? Explain how a science experiment suddenly became mythical with curses.Ethan, Jack and Sebastian's half brother from another mother, shouldn't even have been a character. He played no role in this story, other than the adopted parents lied to Jack and Seb. All that information could've been found out another way, which would've made the story more interesting. Marcus, the biological father of all three boys, appears and reveals that they're immortal. Kate wants to become like the boys in order to break the curse so she can live happily ever after with Sebastian (not Jack). She's thinking about what she'll tell her family after this experiment. Yet she insists that after a decade everyone she knows will be dead. Last time I checked, a decade is 10 years. In 10 years she'll be 28, how is that possible? I think the author meant 5 decades or something, I'm not sure.This made no sense to me. It felt like I was reading something a high schooler wrote to entertain friends. Definitely not original because I swore some passages were like reading Twilight. Seriously! I would have like more things explained before jumping into the next revelation. Make me believe the story. Sadly, if there is to be another book; which the ending hinted at, I won't be reading it.
