review 1: I hate it when authors put characters in a relationship just to make sure there are no loose ends. To me it makes no sense that Izzy and Matyas would be dating because dating your best friend's fiancé's son is exponentially worse than dating your best friend's ex and not only weird but crossing a line that I thought was obvious enough that no one should have to say it out loud. I think Hallaway definitely messed up with the Izzy character because in the first book she was supportive and awesome, in the second book she turned into a jerk (the whole cousin situation was random and weird), the third book I accidently skipped and haven't read yet but I'm sure Izzy did something not so "friend-like", and the fourth she's dating Matyas now aka Matt. Izzy really doesn't seem ... morelike a good friend anymore and Garnet and Izzy barely talk anymore. I think it is clear they've grown apart and for good reason. There's also another surprise relationship at the end of the book but I won't ruin it for anyone, I'll just say it is equally as random and forced. Hopefully in the next book Hallaway clarifies why all of these people are dating because now it just seems like a group inbreed situation. Just because all of these people spend time together does not mean they have to date. Also, Hallaway needs to decide when Parrish was born because in this one book Parrish was supposedly 100-years-old, 200, and 400 depending on the chapter. It makes me feel that no one took the time to proofread this book before publishing, which is unfortunate.Besides for that the book was good. It had the romance the first book was lacking and the action the second book was lacking. It had a plot that made sense, unlike the second one with Izzy's cousin, Maureen, randomly appearing. This installment definitely kept me glued to the book more than the others, which makes me happy.
review 2: I figured I'd go ahead and work my way through the series this week. This one had a lot of promise--and it was good--but it had a few flaws that kept nagging at me. One was that I noticed--probably because I've been reading these back-to-back--that there were some discrepancies with the overall narrative. Nothing too major, but I still hate to see changes made in later books of a series, whether it's intentional to change the trajectory of the plot or simply because the writer lost some of the details along the way. The other problem I had, and this was more troublesome to me, was that this book saw the anticipated return of a well-liked character who, literally, went down in a blaze of glory in book 2. I had been awaiting his return and, when it happened in this book, I was very disappointed. The main character was very blase with his return (sort of like, "Hey, what's up?") when I expected an emotional and explosive reunion. Also there was nothing said of his time away. While it didn't need to be too extensive, I was looking for some bit of additional character development for him since he's a favorite. Overall, I enjoyed this as I did the others, but the above issues were a little distracting. less
