I was sick. My brain fuzzed out. I did not have to think. Good enough. Jokes were okay.
Real Rating: .5
I learned two things upon reading this book:
1. Anything coming from the Twilight fanfiction world is crap.
2. I need to stop listening to my friends when they recommend books. This has been the third recommendation that I have not finished at all.
Deciding I needed to take a break from the next start of a Star Wars book, I decided to enlist upon some friends and their book recommendations.

I was wrong.
Dead wrong.

The characterizations were far too much like those from Twilight. It seemed like the author was far more in a hurry to have her book published rather than change anything about the characters that would not resemble in the least those of Twilight. Every word, every movement a character made and I knew exactly who they were suppose to be.
This book was a struggle for me to read and I got only into at least four chapters before I decided that it was best to call it quits. I don't think I could take another Twilight spin-off before I cracked.
If you like characters based upon the Twilight series, then this book is for you. If you are not a fan of the Twilight series, stay away from it.
