I'm actually a bit enraged about this book. This is the first bad review I've EVER done and it's only so I can shake some sense in whatever mindless hippies thought this book deserved a star at all, let alone five. No lie, I went out of my way to tell everyone I talked to that this book was awful. And just to say, I'm actually embarrassingly tolerant of crappy books (Hush, Hush and the House of Night Series come to mind). I never stop mid-book and I'm intrigued at least a little bit. Not the case with this butt wipe of a book. Every time I picked it up, I had an internal battle with myself to just put it down and pretend like I never was stupid enough to spend $0.99 too much on it in the first place. Evenutally, I just said "screw it" and finished the book before I broke reading maxim #1 - Never give up on a book. Pfft.First of all, what the crap? There can't be anyone that superficial in real life. She describes herself as the perfect being with "perfect wavy, unfrizzy blonde hair and crystal clear blue eyes." Really? Nobody roots for the overdog in these stories. I felt no connection to her whatsoever. Then she automatically just has a spot on the cheerleading squad? Just because she lives in the dead girl's house who used to be on the team? Unlikely.OH! And another thing! How realistic is having the "two hottest boys you've ever seen in your entire life" already fighting over who gets you within five minutes of meeting you? She was in that town for like three hours and she already had a best friend and two boyfriends. Which brings me to my next point of loathing: I hate love at first sight! There's nothing thrilling about a couple who just falls into eachothers arms. There has to be some suspense and passion for me to enjoy the romance. You know, the mystery guy who has secrets in his eyes? Not only was Logan not a mystery guy, she could read his effing thoughts! No fun. NOT enticing.And what the heck is up with going to a party EVERY single night?!? For real? No. Just no.What even was the story to this? It was more about an immature high school girl jealous of a dead chick and completely oblivious to her own plights than it was about what she was and the predicament she was in. I learned a lot about vapid teenage girls and little to nothing about the Nephilim world and why Skyla is important in it.How about how all of the sudden she can just use her powers with slim to no practice? Come on.This book had me caught up in all the minor insignificant details that drove me nuts rather than the parts that truly mattered.NO RECOMMENDATION! In fact, shame on you for even considering it far enough to look at any reviews.You know what? Scratch that.. read this book. If I had to put up with this stupid book than so does everyone else. I'm taking you all down with me.
