Review: A Little Too Preachy For My Taste
Rating: 3 out of 5

I had heard so many good things about this book that I was pretty excited to read it.So you can understand my disappointment when I started it and it just wasn't what I thought it would be.Don't get my wrong, the storyline is a nice one but what ended up happening, at least for me, is that I felt like I was being preached to throughout the whole book.Sometimes this works and sometimes it just doesn't. In this case it just didn't work. It was a little over the top for me and I am so sad about that.I really truly wanted to love this book but I just couldn't.It always saddens me when that happens and I do realize that this is a first novel for the author and the first book in a series but I still wouldn't be honest with myself if I rated this higher than 3 stars.I think with a little less preaching and more actual action and storyline this could really have been a much better book, first in a series or not.I think maybe I am the wrong age group too, I can see this appealing more to the tween market.I would like to say that I would be willing to give the second book a try but I think this is just a series I will have to pass on. It just wasn't for me.
