WArning Possible Spoiler if you have not read the serious, do not let me spoil it for you. I don't give details but it might confuse you lol

Things I didn't like about this book and somewhat from this whole series so far:

- I am confused on Jemma's whole natural father storyline, or maybe I just missed something I am not sure, but I thought that her bloodline was already established as her being the daughter of Hades isn't Hades the same as Lucifer? Or according to they 2 different entities?
- I also am so over Jemma and her whining like stop it already. It is so annoying for the main characters to be all powerful but can't get over their low self esteem.
- The whole lack of control when it comes to her lusting over Dominic and Trace, I can understand teenage hormones and attraction but this girl can't seem to keep her panties on the moment she looks at them, it's ridiculous to an extent.

What I like about this book and series, being a Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Vampire Diaries fan despite my dislikes and frustrations I got some of the similar vibes from this book that reminded me of these shows. Overall I do love the story line and most of the conflicts. The ending had me feeling crushed only because I wanted more and I was like NOoooo don't end it like this and then I saw that Bianca is working on the 8th installment of this series so looking forward to it. :)

I love the story and the concept, I am however not a big fan of the main Character Jemma, she just seems so whining, reckless and annoyingly clueless a lot of the time. I read this in ebook format a while ago and decided to get he audible and although Bailey Carr is normally one of my favorite narrator's in this series she makes Jemma even more whiny and annoying and makes me dislike the main character. However I like the story line I'd recommend if you enjoyed Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Angel because it gives me similar vibes to it.… (mehr)

Jemma has found out Vampires are real, she saw her Dad killed by one and no one believed her. Angels are a whole other matter and one she discovers on her journey

I would have thought this would have been right up my alley. Yes, I read [b:Twilight|41865|Twilight (Twilight, #1)|Stephenie Meyer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1361039443s/41865.jpg|3212258]. Yes, I liked it. Yes, I've read [b:Vampire Academy|345627|Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1)|Richelle Mead|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1361098973s/345627.jpg|335933] and [a:L.J. Smith|50873|L.J. Smith|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1266517290p2/50873.jpg]'s many lovely Vampire Diaries books. Yes, I liked them. I like vampires and werewolves and witches.



I like YA, even love Indie authors because sometimes you can find something AMAZING from an indie author ([a:Chess Desalls|8183466|Chess Desalls|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1407608195p2/8183466.jpg] I'm thinking of you here! [a:Elise Kova|8306309|Elise Kova|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1446137163p2/8306309.jpg] - YOU TOO!). I keep thinking that I'm going to find someone who is going to do something kind of different with the paranormal older ya genre - and [a:Bianca Scardoni|14395977|Bianca Scardoni|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1442749549p2/14395977.jpg] kind of did, but then she also kind of didn't or at least there was no improvement on the mythos that [a:Joss Whedon|18015|Joss Whedon|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1302721520p2/18015.jpg] created for us in a certain blonde slayer.



The Slayer trope has been done by so many, but I'm pretty sure Buffy Summers is the one we all think of when we hear that word (especially if '99 was a banner year for you!). This just doesn't live up. Jemma Blackburn is definitely NOT Buffy Summers in any way, shape, or form - and I think that's what kills it for me. I can't even imagine anyone being able to live up to that expectation - but your heroine, your slayer, CANNOT be a whining little brat who can see nothing but how much the world is against her and moping in her every thought and action. Buffy didn't mope - her life, at times, sucked beyond belief. Jemma's had a rough past, but I swear she's more annoying than the one preachy Bennett sister that no one EVER really cared about.

ASIDE ON THE AUDIBLE AUDIO -

I've posted the same thing there (and I wasn't the only one who said this) DEAR GOD DON'T LISTEN TO THIS BOOK! The Narrator is TERRIBLE! Every sentence is overly dramatized, as though she's trying to amp up suspense but I swear, it just doesn't make sense to amp certain things... Like, at all. EVER.

I hated this one. The writing hurt (the bits of it I read through the WhisperSync enabled Kindle Edition) and you could tell that this was either the debut novel, or it was very, very close to it. Poor word choices (some things really don't make sense - at all!), poor grammar... I think it wasn't edited - it certainly feels like it!

Will I ever try this again?



There's your answer!
