And now keep in mind that you can't see the bottom of the page! With that being said, LET THE REVIEWS BEGIN!
First, Crave by J.R. Ward.
Now, I LOVE a good J.R. Ward novel. Usually it is like I have super glued the book to my hands and am unable to put it down. I don't want to sleep; I don't want to eat. But for some reason not with this novel. I can only think of 2 reasons as to why.
#1- The Actual Plot!
It was so slow! It was boring, and it was unbelievable. And it just kept going on and on and on. I just couldn't relate the story to the previous and first book in the series. Also there were so many sub plots that everything began to get confusing. You would believe that the story was ending and then there would be a new, even more unimaginable twist than the first.
# 2 - The Characters
Again, unbelievable. Which I find very weird for an author who writes about a band of VAMPIRES! who I love and sometimes find myself believing to be real people. I root for those vampires; I cry for them and I bask in their triumphs. But the REAL PEOPLE in this book are just unimaginable. A special ops soldier who only wants to be saved from the horrible things he has done? Ok, maybe I can see that. But a privileged defense attorney who talks to her dead drug addict brother and falls madly in love with and sleeps with a man she doesn't even know after 12 hours? No! I would just call that woman a messed up idiot.
In all honesty, I have no idea how to review this book. I got through it but it took me what I deem to be forever for a 350 page book. If you are a lover of J.R. Ward like I am then please be prepared. And warned. But also, don't let this review stop you from reading her novel. Just keep it in mind as you do.
Tomorrow, I will review Private by James Patterson and Maxine Peatro.

ReplyDeleteI thought about downloading the first J R Ward that becomes before the one you sent me on the Nook. Buuuuuut then I decied not to because of
1. Your review, and
2. I can not seem to muster up the excitement to read the one you leant me.
I know. The book is not exciting. Not like her other ones that are knock down, forget to pee fascinating. I was really disappointed.
