review 1: To be fair I didn't read through the entire book. I read about the first chapter or so, realized that the writing wasn't going to get any better, and gave up. Dunno what the plot is like so I decided to be lenient with my rating.Let me get straight to the point. The writing is what pulls down what may otherwise be a fantastic YA paranormal romance. Michelle's name is mentioned on average once every 2.2939456 sentences, which is much too often, especially when the sentences are as short as they are in this book. The basic rule of "show don't tell" is also evaded here. Everything that happens is described in a very matter-of-fact manner, which would be fine sometimes, but not ALL the time. Also, the reader is clearly some kind of omnipotent god because the thoughts of every ... morecharacter is available at the same time, which makes it a bit confusing as to who is the main focus of the third-person narrative.In a good book, the 1 chapter I read should have been enough to give me a decent idea of what the main character is like. After reading 1 chapter of Pulse Of Heroes I was still nonplussed about what kind of girl Michelle is. She didn't say much, but on the other hand her every little action was described in excruciating detail. For instance the reader was informed of the fact that her text to her best friend had gone through and that she had not yet received a reply. The fact that I can conjure this part out of my memory but not any description of Michelle is clearly not ideal.TL;DR: writing style is staccato, too-detailed and uninteresting, main characters are uninspiring, but I can't make any judgment on the plot. However, these are my own opinions, so if you're interested in this genre I'd suggest you try having a read of this yourself.
