Is that not the worst book cover ever??
So I'm not really sure what I want to say about this book (and series), since I frankly am not sure I want to admit that I've read it in the first place. I mean, look at that cover?! Why isn't she wearing a longer shirt, why is she posed like that? Like a weird twerking squat? I don't understand!!!
I wish I could say "don't judge this book by it's cover!" But I can't say that, because it's pretty much what you see is what you get. Cheesy paranormal mysteries - think Twilight, but without a shallow main character. Mercy is actually pretty badass. Only this time, she added a surprise at the ending. I won't tell you what it is, because spoilers, but it pretty much had me pissed off and although I bought the next book in the series, I'm pretty sure I won't be reading it. I just can't get over how unrealistic it was, and this is a book about werewolves, dammit! That I could handle, but the ending was just so bullshit. I'm all about a strong main character, but I think it's badly done to have your character experience something so horrendous that unfortunately many people can relate to, and rather than have them be an example of how to cope, she - relatively quickly - shrugs it off as if it was nothing. And it just didn't fit the mood of these books anyway - she jumps from plucky paranormal mystery to lifetime movie network drama in only a few chapters. What. the. hell.
So, without giving anything away, I hope, I didn't care for it.
On to the next!
(I'm trying to catch up, as it was an busy year end and beginning.)
