review 1: Usually, when I pick up a book, I commit myself to finishing it....no matter how godawful it is. However, there are a few times when that just simply is not possible. This book had to join the garbage along with the last installation of the Anita Blake novels. It is truly, truly terrible. This book had the feel that is was written by a premenstrual promiscuous teenager. The plot was the typical and could have been developed to a satisfactory extent by a decent author. If you like to read eight million chapters of strife, struggle, justification, and dramatic arguments...then this book is juuuust for you. At one point I was arguing with my ipod begging it to shut up and get on with it. When my dogs starting hiding from me, I knew it was time to admit defeat. Unreal... moreistic and annoying. Fail.
review 2: The idea that the book was based on was interesting and definitely unique, but there were a bunch of other problems in this book that made me give it a lower rating. First of all, the characters were annoying. Ian was such an asshole. Literally I don't think that there were any redeeming qualities in him. He was rude, mean, stubborn, constantly angry, a bully, a user... again nothing good about him. Molly was a strange mix of being stubborn and weak-willed. She'd go from being persistent to wanting to run away or cry or something in a matter of sentences. And she was way too understanding of Ian's behavior. Somehow (after like a day mind you) she gets it in her mind that they are meant to be together no matter what, and she becomes weirdly persistent at trying to make Ian feel the same way... when it's been less than a week of them knowing each other! Which brings me to my next point. There wasn't really a relationship here that I could see. There was a lot of lusting after each other but somehow that lust turns into love in the brief time period that this book is based over (like a week) even though they rarely see each other or talk in that time. Because of the characters, I just couldn't get invested in the over all conflict of the book with the Cassus and the Merrick, and really it didn't even matter because the fight was extremely anti-climatic.I really wanted to like this book, and at the very beginning I did, because the story line seemed really interesting. The execution however was disappointing. I might read on to the next books because maybe with different characters I might enjoy it more. less
