Review: Was there a plot?
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 4, 2011
I read book two and book three of this series back to back, and the plots of both were so similar and boring that I am having trouble distinguishing between the two.  I bought all four books and I read all four mostly because I'm a masochist, but partly because there are some (VERY FEW) redeeming qualities.The plot of this book is:  Skyla makes out with Logan and Gage and HER TEACHER Marshall nonstop throughout the story.  She time travels to visit a psychopath a lot too.  Oh yeah, there's also an angel war going on.  And Skyla parties.  A lot.The formatting is terrible, with entire paragraphs randomly indented.  The editing is awful with rampant spelling errors.**** SPOILERS BELOW READ AT YOUR OWN RISK ****Skyla likes to make out.  A lot.  With almost anyone.  While she mostly chooses Gage as her boyfriend in this book, it doesn't stop her from making out with HER TEACHER Marshall a lot and with Logan quite a bit too.  This author has no concept of building up a romance.  There is no buildup and anticipation before a steamy kiss, Skyla just slobbers all over every guy on nearly every page.The author fails to stick to her own canon.  Skyla has super regenerative abilities to the point where in book 2 her ARM gets cut off and the doctor can put a decomposed dead arm on her and she'll regenerate it to living again in a matter of hours with no scar, but in this book she gets her throat slit (with an unintentionally funny tracheotomy scene) and it takes her weeks to heal up.  The author tries to say that this is because she lost so much blood, but getting your ARM CUT OFF is quite a bit of blood loss too.  She also later gets her face sliced up and that takes forever to heal too.  Apparently super regeneration powers only work on missing limbs.There are so many plot holes and ridiculous pieces of this story, I don't know that I could fit them all in this review.  Skyla MURDERS a fellow student by gouging out his neck with her fingers, but of course doesn't get caught or really even care... except for the fact that his ghost haunts her and makes her do things like throw food at people randomly.Marshall is a ridiculous character.  I realize he's some super angel pretending to be a teacher, but as far as most students and all the parents know, he is a teacher.  With that in mind, it bothers me beyond belief that NO ONE seems to have a problem with him having a sexual relationship with students, acting completely unprofessional in class, and inviting students to his house (where lots more making out and sex happens).Skyla's parents are quite possibly the worst parents in existence.  They're not comically bad parents, like the Dursleys in Harry Potter.  They're meant to be realistic, but they're so ridiculous that I can't even keep a straight face while reading.  Her step-father is just a moron, her mother waffles between caring and not caring.  Skyla's mother forces her into an inappropriate relationship with Marshall that just gives me the creeps.  Worst. Mother. Ever.There's also this tiny little subplot of a war between angels (Counts and Celestra).  The author forgets about it, then randomly brings it up in scenes that should be more important but are glosses over and then forgotten about.  Skyla and Gage teleport around and kill all but FIVE  of the Count regional leaders making no attempt to hide their identity from secretaries or witnesses.  This scene lasts all of a few paragraphs, has zero repercussions, and is only mentioned in passing once or twice afterwards.  You would think this would be a pretty big deal... the assassination of almost all of the leaders of an organization in one night and it's merely an afterthought in the book.I am bored with the Skyla/Gage/Logan love triangle.  It's silly at this point.  For three books she's made out with Logan on one page, made out with Gage on the next, and swapped over and over and over and OVER AND OVER again.  I ended up skimming much of this because it was too uninteresting to read.The biggest part of this book was the Chloe diary/reveal.  Over the course of the book Chloe gets more and more psychopathic, but Skyla keeps visiting her anyways.  This subplot is the only part of the book I thought was reasonably well done and interesting.  I'm not going to spoil it, but the last few pages are the only real good part of the book.Again, I think that this story has so much potential but the author is rushing these books out so fast that she's butchering the possibilites.  She needs to learn how to build up suspense, even in the romance aspect.  It really means nothing and isn't romantic at all when the main character is kissing someone every other page.  There were so many unnecessary scenes and so many scenes that really needed fleshing out.  I really believe that if she took her time on these instead of trying to write/publish a new one every two months that she would generate a much more quality product.  Instead, these books are poorly written, riddled with editing/spelling/formatting errors, and full of plot holes and laughably bad scenes.
