Review: Could've been better/more
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 01 19, 2014
I liked the idea but there were a LOT of errors, and I'm usually able to overlook them to get to the story. The POV also changed out of nowhere, and sometimes only for a sentence or two before returning to the main girl's. Crispin was a little weird to me, I can't put my finger on it. The whole thing felt... I don't know, choppy?The story itself was ok, but not much happened. I like fast paced, but this book rushed me through Annabel's story. His invite to his home and 'secret' world was very sudden, as was the proposition from the shadow. All we know is that she's not like other humans, and already the thing's asking her to be by his side and be leader to a thousand shadows? Hmm.This would've been a three-star rating but for personal reasons, Annabel annoyed me in the things she did throughout the book, as did Crispin, or maybe it just wasn't deleivered in a way that would better explain his reasons. If I liked the characters, the story would've been a little better for me. The only ones I liked without any marks against them were Henry and Jules, and they were barely called upon in the books. :/
