Well this was a surprise. I've had this book on my TBR for years but I kept avoiding it because of the terrible original cover and the summary on Goodreads. It really sounds awful. Worse than most blurbs for YA books. But I couldn't decide what to read because I wasn't in the mood for anything so I picked a random number from my TBR and this was what I got.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a lot of fun. I liked the writing, the characters (for the most part) and their sarcasm and banter, I also enjoyed the action, the pacing was great. I just flew through it. Unfortunately the good was overshadowed at times by some things I didn't like at all. You can guess it, double standard regarding sex, love triangle (team Hunter all the way), lack of shock and doubt when a regular human being is faced with supernatural beings and events and some really stupid decisions on behalf of the heroine. YA is basically plagued by these so I can't say I was taken by surprise. Otherwise, very entertaining book.
