review 1: Do you believe in love at first sight? Like, that kind of time stopping, heart melting, forever kind of love at first sight? This book may make a believer out of you. It's a beautifully rich love story with loveable, complex characters that takes place on a magical island. What could be better? I challenge you to make it through without crying. I absolutely cannot wait to read the next one.
review 2: I don't understand, I honestly don't. I feel so cheated and mislead because from the TONS and TONS of four and five star reviews and recommendations on Facebook I was lead to believe that this would be a really great book. Yes, it had a really cool overall idea but the plot, characters, and writing was horrible. I felt like some middle school or high scho
... moreol student wrote this. I tried, I really did to finish it out and pray that it got better, but at the %50 mark I just couldn't stomach it anymore. The characters were completely one dimensional and had no depth or character development what so ever. They were adults and yet their dialogue and actions came off as immature and just ridiculous.The instant love was nauseating and not believable. Here we have this big bad vampire and all the sudden he see's a picture of this girl and he turns into the biggest pansy I've ever read about. I guess that's exactly what this book is.... unbelievable (and not in a good way). I know this is fiction and paranormal at that, but there has to be some believability to the characters actions.I'm not even goanna get started on Ariana... I could've swore she was a 13 year old girl... I'm not exaggerating... that's exactly how she acts. And she took everything too easy and without any fight..."Oh, vampires and witches are real? How cool! Even though I don't know you and I literally just woke up from a coma 60 seconds ago and my husband just died, I'll go with you to this invisible island and be a maid! Who cares that this is completely insane and not believable! Let's hurry up and get there so I can see if I'm a witch too and so I can have instant love with the vampire King who is "supposed" to be a bad ass but acts like a whiny 13 year old just like me!" Yes, I rolled my eyes more times than I can count and the immature dialogue made me cringe. And it just wasn't with Ariana and Abe. It was with EVERY.FREAKING.CHARACTER. The plot really made no sense and was completely predictable, though I didn't finish this book, I can tell you exactly what happens, that's how predictable this book was. And was so completely under developed (just like the characters) that I just could not stomach the rest of this book. I tried, I really did and I hate giving bad reviews because I hate coming off as mean, but I'm just being honest. I gave this book a chance and I was just extremely let down. I think the author needs more practice and maybe one day come back to this and basically re-write it. I would not recommend this book to anyone. less
