Reviews

[Mad Soul Child]

легко читалось, интересно, но что ли не мое. не охота даже пятерку ставить, хотя все отлично на самом то деле. понравилось как закончилось:
- уходим за один вздох фейри
- я могу затаить дыхание.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first book in this series so I didn't end up being a huge fan of this one. I didn't like how this book was a whole new set of characters. I felt like I was just beginning to understand the first ones and now these new ones are being sprung on me. There was a lot of drug use in this book which was fine except that there were so many stereotypes about it. The author is just not a great writer. Using stereotypes all the time, the characters were lacking and the story was choppy.
The idea was good and the story was good in general but there were things that could have been way better. I did like the romance happening with the main character. It made the story a little lighter. Not the greatest book but bearable.
