I was given this book from the author in exchange of a honest review, thanks to the Never Too Old For Y.A. Books group on GR.I have mixed feelings and don't know what to think about this book.I was bored for most of the time and it didn't grip me until I reached at least 2/3 of the book.The story was good and it got a little more interesting toward the end, but it wasn't very exciting and I didn't really feel connected to the characters.I didn't like much the main characters of this book.Sam was so childish and weak for the first half of the book that made me sick. I really wanted to kick her. So it seemed a little weird when she suddenly showed her balls. But still appreciated the change.I didn't like Nick half of the time. I liked him one moment, I didn't the next. He was confusing and we never really got to know him well.I felt nothing when they somehow fell in love. I didn't feel connected to them and didn't have a feel of their feelings for each other. It was only there that they had a like for each other and were attracted to each other somehow. And a couple of scenes between them were cute. But they seemed also pushed a lot by the knowledge of that prophecy, of their destiny.With Violet was like with Nick. Sometimes I liked her, she apparently had more balls than her sister. And other times I thought she was a spoiled child.Zach was... noisy. But a nice kid.I liked Mary and especially her mother Susan.I kind of liked Isobel, though I didn't get to know her well.I didn't like the werewolves and Tommy.David was a stupid jerk, made me want to kick his butt.Sam's father was a stupid and weak guy. Made me angry and annoyed.The mother was just pure evil and gave me the shivers.The ending got me annoyed for how the author left us hanging.If I'm going to rate this book 3 stars is only for the last third of the story. But then, there's the rest of it that I'd rate 2 stars.Hard decision...It's gonna show 2 stars but it's actually 2.5 stars.
