Fair warning- there may be spoilers in this review.  Well I got this book for free so I suppose that is the silver lining. I would have been pretty peeved if I had paid $4.99 for it.Let us start with Livia...This girl has got some issues...Her mom died, she blames herself, her father blames her and she has terrible self esteem. And what is with her paralytic fear of flowers?!  Just because her mother (who she didn't even know) liked botany?  This girl is supposed to be in her 20s but she acts like she is still in high school.  She was weak and needy throughout.  And she goes back to her douche-bag ex-boyfriend and cheats on Cassius?! What the h-e-double hockey sticks? Not very appealing in a heroine. I like my ladies with a little less damsel in distress and a lot more backbone.Cassius...I didn't feel like I knew who he was at all. For a "boy" who is hundreds of years old- he still seems an awful lot just like a boy. You would think these beings who have experienced so much would be a little more...mature. They just seemed like a lot of spoiled socialite children who know nothing of real life. That said- I might have missed some character development since I was skipping through most of this story.  Why I didn't just stop reading, who knows.I guess this one just wasn't my cup of tea.  I would have a hard time recommending it to anyone.
