Review: Bland characters and slow plot

I really love J. LA books because they are entertaining, funny, spunky, and also very character driven. However, after reading numerous works from her, I found that they sometimes lack originality. I love the male lead characters because they are very funny and good looking, but I realize that after a few books they all start sounding the same. Cocky but nice, funny but mean, hot yet kind...ect ect. The only different one, is Aiden from The Covenant series. All the lead girls are the same as well-reckless, brave, spunky, and sarcastic. Don't get me wrong I love that, but if each character mirrors the one from the last book I read, then where is the fun in that? So that's why I didn't really care for this book, I didn't feel like I wanted to get to know any of these characters after reading the prequel. It wasn't that interesting, and I found myself just skimming through the pages at one point. Layla was an interesting character though, I just didn't care for Jas or Dez at all. Also, the story of gargoyle just didn't catch my interest. I love most of her other books, but series I am going to pass on.
