OK.. Well first of all...The reason I bought the books (1st, 2nd, & 3rd of the Dark Secrets series)was because I'm a sucker for a good YA paranormal romance novel/series & this series got a lot of 4-5 star reviews. But this was NOT what I expected AT ALL. The author should have done more research on the American English versus Austrailian English. I mean I know she is from Austrailia, & I can handle thing being spelled different, but when she uses obvious Aussie phrasing instead of American, (the books take place in America) it just bugs me. And whats up with every guy this girl meets, automatically falling in love with her & she does the same... WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN???  And  you talk about wishy-washy!! "I love you, but I can't love you, so I must leave you, but I can't leave you because I love you" Again, WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN?? & it happens over & over in all the books (thus far anyway).Also  when the girl's (Amara-Rose aka Ara) "true love" (David) does leave, it's so very heart breaking. At least until some other guy falls for her, then she just goess into a massive state of confusion, & so do I, as a reader.. I can't take anymore of Ara's downward spiral of being TOO loved. I wont finish this series, but I will finish the book. I did jump ahead & read the last few lines of the end. Ok fine, I cheated, but the ending sounds good enough for me.  I can't take the sadness !
