This had to be one of the silliest books I have read.  I kept hoping it would get better.  The plot was flimsy, and you could tell where it was going the whole time.  The writing style was so over the top, I laughed aloud at several parts that were not meant to be funny.  Her heart shaped cheeks? (In her heart shaped face.) Flames danced lethally off her sparkling green eyes? The pieces of her heart floating in her eyes?  Really?  The plot was so contrived (spoilers!) Sidney was best friends with Alex, then he wanted everything Alex had, then he repented and was completely forgiven.  Then there was the whole Jack thing.  Alex slept with his mother the night before the wedding?  Oh, and Valhalla wasn't even mentioned until the end of the book?  Why?  At that point it didn't really make sense. I am just writing this off as a waste of time and moving on.
