FANG WILL BE THE FIRST TO DIE

For years, Max has been on the run from evil forces threatening her and the Flock - but nothing could have prepared her for this horrifying prophesy delivered to her by Angel. Fang is Max's best friend, her soulmate, her partner in leadership of her flock of winged children. A life without Fang is a life unimaginable.

Max's desperate desire to protect Fang brings the two closer than ever. But their world is turned upside down yet again when the Flock meet a wealthy scientist who has a great interest in the birdkids. He introduces them to another winged boy, the beautiful Dylan. Raised in a lab like the Flock, he exists for only one reason: He was created to be Max's perfect other half.

Now, a battle of science against soul, perfection versus passion unfolds, twists, and turns... and meanwhile, the apocalypse is coming.

I didn't want to read this because I knew Fang was going to leave max. But my issues with not finishing a series got the best of me. Great story though! I really do not like Angel I think she needs to go bubye for good. And I can give a rats ass if Dylan was made for max, she doesn't belong with him. She belongs with Fang. His letter to her made me cry, now I'm sitting here at 1:30am debating with myself to read Angelnow even though I know Max and Fang eventually see each other again but they won't be together. I just hope Patterson rectifies this in the last book. I hate when authors will get you all worked up over two people and when they FINALLY get them together they go and screw it up.... COME ON REALLY!!!!! At least let them have something first before going and destroying it and changing up the entire series with a funked up relationship. My feelings towards the authors who do that and don't somehow rectify that, I generally lose interest in because it's hard when you get to know and start loving these characters and love the relationship they are forming and then have it ripped away from you like a theif stealing candy from a baby. I won't ever like Dylan as much as I like Fang he seems like an interesting character but Fang stole my heart earlier in the series.

I'm done.

I liked these characters through I five books so far. But this has become ridiculous. There is no story. It's just these characters in a series of different scenes before it gets to the big fight at the end. They keep talking about some amorphous apocalypse that will happen at some time in the future. It has no resonance, though, so it's more infuriating than anything.
(it sort of reeks of an author who likes playing with these characters but has no idea what to do with them. who talks about an apocalypse to try to give the whole thing significance but really hasn't figured that part out yet)

And on top of that, the characters that I once enjoyed have become inane. The book is called [b:Fang|43035|White Fang|Jack London|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169961767s/43035.jpg|2949952] but it really isn't about him particularly. All Max knows how to do is get angry and resist everything that happens. Jeb shows up for no purpose other than to make Max angry because [a:James Patterson|3780|James Patterson|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1198342084p2/3780.jpg] needed something new to frustrate her. Angel does the most incomprehensible things that, even when there's an attempt to explain them they still don't make sense.

It's not any fun any more. It's just frustrating.
