I don't know why authors haven't caught on that love triangles almost always work against both the book and the characters themselves.<br /><br />I love me a good villain. The more complex and interesting - the better for the book. He started out with potential, but Parker never really fleshed him out enough to make him matter. <br /><br />AND YES. THAT EYEBALL IS FREAKY. It follows you around the room.

All of the love stuff feels so unnecessary, and so reminiscent of other YA novels." <-- It's so sad how many YA novels you can say this about.<br /><br />Shame that Pioneer doesn't get developed more fully. The description you'd put of him in the beginning was exciting - I love when a villain is unquestioned because it's shown that's how well established his power is.<br /><br />Also a shame that the pacing was so uneven. I've read a few books like that, and it's annoying when there's little to no action earlier but suddenly SO much there at the end.<br /><br />Even still, I wouldn't have heard of this one weren't it for you. And I am glad that despite its shortcomings, you found the book as a whole diverting.<br /><br />[Side note - I am really creeped out by that cover and that one very, very light eyeball.]Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-68994266098655028992013-08-06T08:25:30.493-07:002013-08-06T08:25:30.493-07:00Your percentage breakdown cracked me up -- I like ...Your percentage breakdown cracked me up -- I like that!Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-69424397344164328722013-08-04T21:49:30.950-07:002013-08-04T21:49:30.950-07:00I can't even remember the name of the boys, bu...I can't even remember the name of the boys, but it seems that Outsider Boy had no substance whatsoever. I hardly felt like I knew anything about him. He liked music. His dad is the sheriff. End of story.<br />I am happy that you liked it, overall. The ending of the book scared the living hell out of me!Lyn Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471867801089862828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-62316226709171804152013-08-04T18:26:44.518-07:002013-08-04T18:26:44.518-07:00Great review, Jessie!
