I tend to try and put a positive spin on any negative reviews that I write, but I've spent all day trying to figure out how; and I just can't. There are so many things that this book failed at, that it is hard to figure out which one is the number 1 reason.I guess I'll start with the most glaringly obvious: Scarlett! This child (because let's face it, that's what she was) was the most annoyingly indecisive, narcissistic pain in the ass female lead character I've ever read. I was kind of going that she would be the one to be killed off, but no such luck. Scarlett was ALWAYS head-over-heals in love with someone (who that was depended on the page), if everything didn't go according to her plans, she ran away and made impulsive decisions that hurt most everyone around her. There was no communication between her and whomever she was currently meant to be with, unless one of them overhead something they weren't supposed to. Not to mention all things were resolved and subsequently decided by sex. She only really ever brought up her best friend when it was relevant to garner some sympathy, and if I had to read that she melted into a puddle after liking at one of the guys again, I was going to puke.Ash vs. Mason: not to give to much away, but it was quite apparent who the author wanted to end up with Scarlett from quite early on. With one, there was a ton of details regarding sex, and other time spent. With the other, not so much.The twist: wow, what a way to make that issue of Scarlett making a decision just disappear as quickly and uneventful as possible. I felt extremely cheated with that, and I want even fully on that team.Editing: dear God people it's called proofreading, look it up! Normally I can handle the occasional font mishap, spelling error, or missing word, but this was ridiculous! It actually made taking this book serious that much more difficult.This book definitely have of the impression that the author was just DONE. it kind of felt like the author really didn't have any original ideas for this series, therefore she read other authors and tried to emulate their stories without being ridiculously obvious.  Needless to say this entire series will not be gracing my kindle ever again. If I could have given it 0 stars that still might be to many. Hopefully Erin Noelle did not quit her day job for this.
