this series has a way of going up and down with me. some parts I love others I could do without. I will be continuing this journey just to see how it ends.
I was going to give this a really low review because about 2/3rds of this book reminded me heavily of Twilight. Schuyler is impossibly in love with Jack Force to the point where it's so incomprehensibly silly and I was just pissed reading about their love affair. This foursome between Mimi - Jack - Oliver - and Schuyler was really making me gag. Especially since it's so, so obvious that Schuyler is not going to get anywhere with Jack, even if he thinks he can break this so called bond. It was exactly like Jacob and Bella, it made me want to hurl.
But, before I could write off the book as another one of those stories that would set back women a couple of decades de la Cruz did something that saved the book. She added action and real conflict that had nothing to do with romance or love. Bliss is harboring Lucifer and destroyed a large majority of the blue bloods. A real threat that is more important than some foolish girl who can't see past her own love sick actions.
The book turned dark in a way that made it surpass the superficiality and pop culture references that had littered it previously and for a couple minutes I got a glimpse of what this book could be if she continues to focus on that plot instead of these silly romantic subplots. So, now I'm looking forward to the next book. If only to see if the story continues to get better.
