review 1: This may contain spoilers??This book is about Tara, Liam, and Keagan. Tara is a banshee and she sees how and when people will die when she touches them. Liam and Keagan are twins, and Tara is dating Liam. She sees how both guys die, and wants to change the outcome, because she has visions of both dying soon in different scenerios. In doing this she realizes that she may be with the wrong guy. I did not like exactly how this story went. Not a lot of consideration was put into Liam's feelings, or even Keagan's feelings, even though his ended ok. I did love Keagan! I would love a longer story with him. The story just came off weird to me, and I think adding more and making it longer with more details, and not quite how the cheating went would make a good s... moretory.
review 2: Why, oh, why do I insist on torturing myself with these free ebooks? And WHY did this story get an average of 4 stars??The problems1) The characters. The three main characters in this novella are so over-the-top stereotypical, it's not even funny anymore. The "good" girl dating the "good" brother but is secretly attracted to the "bad" brother. And the reason that the "bad" brother is so "bad" is because the parents made him that way. Seriously? I get that the length of this story didn't really lend itself to a whole lot of character development, but this is just sad. 2) The dialogue. It was just painful, particularly during the scene at the beach. I'll let the following excerpt speak for itself:Keagan pushed [the pizza slice] closer with a smile and a gleam in his eye. "Doesn't the wittle baby wanna eat? Open up the itty bitty tunnel and let the choo choo train come in." "Stop that, silly." I pushed it away. "You'll make me laugh then I'll choke on it."3) The plot. I get the whole banshee idea. It's a cool concept and one that hasn't been done that often (though I would definitely recommend the Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent if anyone is interested in that type of story). Tara's vision of her boyfriend's early death presents a very real and very exciting complication. Unfortunately, my sympathy for his character is very short-lived. It doesn't take long to see that the "good" brother is really a jerk, while the "bad brother is the sweetheart we never knew about.The positivesIt was short. less
