Review: Hot, Fun Read
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 12, 2013
Okay, so before I dive in, let me start out by saying that my overall thoughts on the book are great - I mean I obviously gave it 4 stars. Hell, I would have given it 5 stars if not for a FEW minor issues I took up with it when reading. These things made me go " ohhhhhh this is gonna be goooooddddd" but then nothing e.v.e.r happened with it. It was like it was forgotten...UNTIL THE EPILOGUE...U.N.T.I.L the E.P.I.L.O.G...shit I can' remember how to spell it while trying to emphasis it...anyway, here's what it is. Don't read anymore if you don't want some type of mild spoiler.1) You don't know it until there's a moment in the book where Park *snaps* his fingers. But he is someone special. And you are first a little thrown like...whaaaahhhhhh???? But then you're like "oh, okay, sweet....something cool is going to come from this". But it doesn't. Nope. Nothing. Nada, zilch..zero...finito...nothing.2) Violet at times just acted plain ol' DIFFERENT. I can't even call  her a bitch...or dumb. It's like literally something was mentally missing from her brain. Maybe she should be on some kind of medication? I kind of felt like I was reading a kids book when it came to her and almost wanted to cringe toward the end involving the sex scenes that were originally so mutha-f-ing hot because it just starting feeling like with her mentality it would make me perverted to get off on it. That's how much I started disliking her and thinking she be cray-cray. Like literally.3) Also, there's the part where you find out Violet's issue with guys...and it kind of threw me in a way that when I read it (aside from Andrew himself) that I laughed. Yes, laughed out loud to actually read what she was telling Park. ONLY because it just kind of slapped me in the face. Because this was not a serious book to me. It was a fun book..then BAMN! I got d-k slapped. Okay, bad choice of words. You'll see. But then, I did feel for her, just maybe the moment she came out with it should have been...I don't know...more built up with background?4)...I said a few, didn't I????? I just felt like these two peoples backgrounds were so lacking that it left alot of unanswered and strange moments in the book. It needed more building to me to really make the book what it could have been. I mean if we just had known more, I feel like things would have played out better and this book would have easily been 5 stars.The author did a very good job overall in writing. I like her style and the way she keeps a smooth flow from one thing to the next. I will definitely read more from her.That's it though. See? Not too shabby. The book really is good. It's exciting and funny with them going back and forth. Park makes a great (and confusing) Alpha. Violet makes a very sweet and innocent heroin. There is some damsel in distress moments that you know I love in my books. I just wish it would have been less strange with Violet and something more would have come out of the hero's...um...thing (ya know, the finger snapping thing - hey, I'm TRYING not to spoil it here, okay?).
