Review: Unique Plot but hated the heroine

I almost DNF this book because I hated Colina's character. The only thing that got me going was because Awakening was very interesting and I wanted to see more of Luke.When I first saw the picture, I thought the heroine was a zombie or would be a zombie but it so much more than that. It involves magic especially the dark arts. It is also the second time I read a book that involves Draugrs so I had a basic knowledge of what it is.I knew she would make stupid choices and the consequences would be far too great. I expected it already so I was prepared but it still made me mad. Throughout the whole book, I really dislike her. I know characters needs flaws but her flaws was the kind that makes you angry. What I dislike about her the most is that she's too indecisive and doesn't listen to reason. She makes one decision and later changes her mind. Then later, she'd feel guilty because of the things she had done. I understand her revenge for her family and it's true that people think irrationally but hers was just too much. The ending was something. I don't know if I want to hit her or agree to her decision but Luke did not deserve what happened to him. I, too, blame her and in a way I'm kind of siding with Luke's family. (I feel that she deserve what's coming to her) I can't believe that Luke decided to still be with her and her decision involving him feels kind of selfish. I'd probably agree to her decision if it wasn't her actions that caused it in the first place but it isn't. I won't say any spoilers. You better read the book to find out why.The relationship between Luke and Colina while sweet was kind of fast. Their feelings for another developed quickly but I wanted to see their relationship grow step by step. I wanted to know more about Luke's background although I do believe that loving someone that quickly do happens, I just wanted their relationship to be more elaborated. Although I do think Luke deserve better than Colina at this point. But I want to give them a chance and hopefully I do get that in book 2.The ending was cliffhanger of sorts and I do want to find out more about Colina's decision and she has improved for the better.I recommend this to readers who wants a new kind of paranormal, dark, fantasy, horror, and a mild romance.
