Have you ever read a book that you went into pretty much knowing what was going to happen, but hoping against all hope that you'll somehow end up liking it? Very Wicked Things was that book for me. I knew that Cuba was a d*** and that something obviously happened to tear them apart... but I trudged on thinking I could grow to like him and this book. However, that didn't happen.Cuba was an a--hole of epic proportions. And even taking his troubled past and feelings into account, I still saw him as an ass. Nothing could really fix that in my mind, and that pretty much ruined the book for me. I can see where the author was going, but I felt like the book was a departure from the first of the series. Dovey also made a decision that completely took me off guard. I kept thinking there was no way she'd actually go through with it, but I should have realized anything was possible here. And then there was the whole episode with Emma, Sebastian, Matt and even Spider. Too many outside problems occurred toward the end that interfered with Dovey and Cuba's journey.The 2 stars are for the writing because I can't take away from the fact that this was a well written, thought out book. But with that said, I'm done with this series. I just don't care enough about Sebastian or the rest of the gang to hang around for more heartache.
