As you said, ho...I'm glad you liked it, Sierra! As you said, hopefully the third book shows some character development.

But the romance sounds awful, and that paired with a boring story is just a complete turn off. :/ <br />Thank you for your review! I'll probably get around to this, but I'm not exactly looking forward to it. -_-Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06307895303115762938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-76387138202228687192015-09-29T15:38:03.517-04:002015-09-29T15:38:03.517-04:00Ahhhhhh relationships like that drive me bananas! ...Ahhhhhh relationships like that drive me bananas! I don't understand why anyone would put up with someone who did that garbage! I have never even heard of this series, but perhaps I'll keep it that way. The way you talked about the relationship makes me think of the death code and I hated that book! Great review though!! :)RattleThePageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384685788016281486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-85799890449100749992015-09-29T12:29:23.397-04:002015-09-29T12:29:23.397-04:00I'm so sad you didn't like it! I just read...I'm so sad you didn't like it! I just read the eARC through EW too and I loved it, although slightly less than the first one because as you said in your review, the ending wasn't quite as amazing as the first book. But I liked the book overall a lot. Normally, I don't like couples who yo-yo so much, but for some reason, it seemed really realistic this time around. I guess I just know too many couples from high school who act just like that, argh! Oh well, hopefully the third one shows the character growth it needs for you to be more on board and you end up liking it. Sorry this one didn't do it for ya. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965074032725545051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-38937913499034873732015-09-28T19:43:02.836-04:002015-09-28T19:43:02.836-04:00I'm kinda glad I wasn't a fan of the first...I'm kinda glad I wasn't a fan of the first book because the romance sounds like a mess that I really don't feel any desire to go near. <br />Sorry this was such a disappointment, Alyssa!

I have not read book one. Don't think I will either, lol :) But aw, I'm so sorry this book was so disappointing sweetie. But you are amazing for still being honest about it. <3 And aw, so glad you adore the author as a person :D But that makes it even more depressing when you don't love her book :\ Has happened to me too. Sigh. Oh, well. Author is still a great person, lol :) Anyway. Stunning review, as always. <3Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-58235110107379396752015-09-28T07:36:14.226-04:002015-09-28T07:36:14.226-04:00Oh no, I'm sorry you didn't like Persuasio...Oh no, I'm sorry you didn't like Persuasion!! From what you've written I think I'm going to have a problem with Barrie because I really can't stand it when the main character thinks it's a wonderful idea to keep super important secrets from their partner. Why?!?! Anyway, I've seen a couple of mixed reviews but I'll probably end up trying Persuasion anyway, although probably not any time soon. Great review, Alyssa :)<br /><br />Zareena @ <a href="http://www.slantedbookshelf.com" rel="nofollow">The Slanted Bookshelf</a>Zareenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10334293915875073920noreply@blogger.com
