Ok so my feelings about this installment are all over the place. I like the pace that the author uses. It's refreshing to read a novel that's not super predictable, especially when there's romance involved. I also enjoyed all the new developments in the book, particularly the big twist at the end.There were however some things that are now becoming a nuisance.Jade complained too much in this one. We get it, you're different, who cares?! Kids are mean, it's what they do. Her constant griping about being different and questions about why she can't be normal are exhausting. I mean she can't change who she is. Duh..so when she asked "Is there anyway you can change my DNA?" I was like what?! Seriously? I'm all for a character being a little confused, and having some baggage. But, I hate when authors force the issue. I mean this went on the entire book. I have part DNA so i must be evil/dangerous (let's ignore the fact that all those times she was attacked first), and feeling compassion for a being that tried to save me (DEMON) means that i'm demonic, and there's something wrong...It made no sense.  She had way too much self loathing and self hate. This was constantly present. Especially with the bullying. I mean I get it that it's painful and torturous. But really, we're on book 3 and they're not saying anything new. If anything she should've been even more likely to tune them out since it's all the same. They're not saying something she didn't already know.  Jade was constantly up and down in this. Her mood swings kept giving me whip lash. Case in point: after the incident, she begins to feel fear, then all of a sudden she gets mad, then she starts being scared cause the guy might come back after her again  DUH!!! That's why you're mad in the first place...Jade just needed to grow up. While she got a little better towards the end, It did not need to take the whole book to accomplish that. It just became foolishly repetitive.Tasha was another one. Goodness. Her attitude needs to be checked. I get it that she's trying to protect chris, but pretending nothing happened is stupid. It doesn't make the problem disappear. SMH.Linc: He is way too full of himself. I did not like his attitude towards Jade most of the time in this. So i guess what im saying is he isn't much different from books 1 and 2. The jerk!Other than that the book was an entertaining read. Sigh...although I don't know if i care to read the rest. I just can't care for Jade anymore or what happens. It's the same thing over and over again. The kids talk about her being part demon, She hates herself, her friends try to cheer her up, she forgets, they start talking smack, she hates herself more, her friends try to cheer her up..and so it continues. 3 stars for entertainment, and i deduct two for it being so tediously repetitive.
