I still bought the book for $3 due to the tremendous amount of good reviews and the sampling was actually quite nice.I read the summary for this series and knew that I was in for a storyline revolving a teenage girl who will ultimately make mistakes and whatnot. I avoid these types of books like the plague because a weak, naive female protagonist irritates the heck out of me. And Saki is one of them. Ugh. She cannot stand up for her own self, she cries too much too long for things not worth crying for, she cannot make up her own mind, she is too gullible for my taste, and she complains about everything.She cowers like a dog -ha!- when she's bullied. She didn't even try to show a little bit of courage, but just gives in and gets beast up. Weak.She cries for the most useless things. She cries when she move houses, when Lane tries to help her, when her mother ignores her (might I add in that Saki already knows what kind of mother she is), she cries when she finds out that she turned into a Lycan. As if she had a good life to start with. They constantly label her as the smart one, but her decisions! Ha! If I could, I would go in the book and knock some sense into her. Which brings me to my next case.She is constantly changing her mind and when things go bad, she blames others. She obviously likes Lane, but is always going back to Dax like It's casual. If you're going to pick a side, stick to it! Don't back out just because the going gets rough and tough.She believes in everything anyone says. Which I guess contribute to her not making up her mind. She goes wherever one or the other side says. If you feel what is right and good, make your stand and stick to it.Not to mention, Saki says that she is a woman now (after she loses her virginity). Pft! She hardly ACTS like one much less BE like one. Just because you're a whore who spreads her legs to every guy she meets doesn't make you a lady.The boys in this isn't that good either. Dax claims that he likes Saki, but shows no effort in showing his affection. He turned her into something she didn't want to, against her will, and he says that is was merely a "mistake". *insert rolls eyes* I've also noticed that Lane' s speech can get girly. Did they author forget that she was writing a dialogue for a man? Some words that he used made me cringe. It's better if he didn't say anything at all. Just sit there and look pretty, honey because nothing coming out of your mouth is worthwhile.There is A LOT of grammar issues. I've noticed tons of words that were missing that I've stopped keeping count. I had to re-read the sentence again and again just to grasp what the author was trying to say it portray. There was also a part in the book, towards the middle I think, where there was some code of some sorts. It obviously showed that she didn't get an editor before publishing this junk.This is a solid one star and not a zero only because the sex scenes were hot as promised. But overall, the book is a complete dud. I'm not going to buy the next book in this series.
