Review: Definitely very different from the prequel

Hmm…this book was very…..different. I liked the fact that it was a new story and look at a wounded soldier type story. Normally they just hate themselves, and despise the whole world, but Ward definitely took his self-loathing to a whole new level. It was definitely realistic in a sense, however depressing and heartbreaking that reality is. This book had some really weird vibes in it. The heroine kept talking about energies and stuff, and I just felt so awkward reading those parts. It was so weird, because she literally sounded like a hippy (sorry, no offense to anyone who's like this), but then the whole energy stuff ended after they got caught doing the dirty (LOL--embarrasing!!!).This story was so different from the first--in that this one tended to lean more towards the psyche, energy (spiritual stuff) way of things (it was also super depressing). Both characters were so distraught, and terribly scarred by their pasts, that it almost made me want to crawl in a hole and be depressed forever.I didn't think there was a resolve for the hero. Tali Martel did show the reader that Mia was able to forgive herself and move on. The hero kind of just feels accepted, and then is fine. It was kind of random when I came upon the "epilogue" page. I thought, "Oh! It's done already??" I also really felt as if Martel flitted through some topics regarding both of the main characters that she didn't explain thoroughly enough, or didn't resolve. And there was a lot of random things in this story.I'm seriously so confused, that it's starting to make my review sound and look confusing (that's how unsure I am about this book). I guess the main thing I can say about this book is that it was a good and interesting storyline, that could've done well without all that "energy" mumbo jumbo. (Unless you like that sort of thing)
