Review: Very sweet.  Felt as if I was reading a younger romance :(

I have read many of Violet's books to date.  Some I absolutely loved and others made less impact.  With this book, I almost wanted to give up in the beginning because all the talk about the weapons and such bored me silly.  I understand we needed background.  With that said, it was too much background.  I felt like I was back in history class bored to pieces.  It was too long and drawn out.  I stuck with it, but I found myself skipping repeatedly.  There were spelling and grammatical errors.  The characters were okay.  They were sweet.  The Hero was not like other H's in this author's books.  In my opinion, he was not as alpha as I would have liked and as claimed he would be.  Lia was sweet.  But, it almost seemed like she was very immature and juvenile in a lot of areas.  I had to remind myself her age.  At times I felt as if I were reading a highschool/college romance.  There was not any heat and passion.  When they were first intimate and her V is given...I remember going back and questioning how they got there.  One second they were dressed and the next it was over.  I did not need graphic details or anything distasteful.  But, I felt as if the h's first experience making love should have been sweetly described a little better.  It also seemed very unrealistic.  The plot was underdeveloped.  I felt as if certain things happened too fast/without a normal progression and others were to slow.  Some things needed more resolution.  Just okay for me.
