Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally.
Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.
Review:
I’m just
going to cut to the case: this book was my very first DNF (did not finish), so
this is going to be a short review. I read ‘The Immortal Rules’ last month and
thought it was OK, I had more of a “meh” feeling about it. I’ve read every
Kagawa book (I bought the whole Iron Fey series, I should have read one first
before doing that, but well, I was enthusiastic). Having read all of them I can
honestly say I’m not that big a fan of Kagawa’s books. But this one was just…
I can’t
understand what all the fuss is about. Everybody is showering this book (and
all of Kagawa’s other books for that matter) with praise and I just can’t see
why?
The book
never pulled me in, not once. The characters were shallow and typical
Young-Adult, nothing new there, nothing I didn’t expect, nothing to throw me
off and mess with my head (which I like in a book).
The
romance was awful. I didn’t believe a second of it and the “passionate” scenes
were painful to read. There was just nothing passionate about it, the setting
was all wrong, the feelings didn’t reach me. I want to read a passionate scene
with a good placing in the story where the sparks fly of the pages and make me
blush. There was absolutely no fire here, no sparks.
The
story itself should have been action packed and riveting, but it all seemed
rather dull to me. The action scenes all seemed a bit thrown together.
No, just
no. 70% in, I gave up. I have no motivation at all to read on and I won’t be
doing it either. I’m just not interested.
