I know I, for one, wouldn't be up for this either so in many ways you simply cemented my decision not to pick this one up. Thanks for such a helpful review, dear, and I hope your next read is far better than this one!

Definite shame, but I think I'll still give it a try. I definitely recommend her other Night Huntress series and Night Prince if you haven't tried those Rachel as they are far better!

I've been seeing mixed reviews for it, and truthfully I don't think I'll pick it up. I only like forbidden romances when I can connect with the characters and I have a feeling I wouldn't like Ivy very much.

I'm not even sure why this is considered NA - it definitely had a more YA feel to it. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.fwiwreviews.net" rel="nofollow">Karen @ For What It's Worth</a>Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685405404548766935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-31794560704635172222014-09-18T20:42:23.867+01:002014-09-18T20:42:23.867+01:00I have heard so much about Frost and her books but...I have heard so much about Frost and her books but this one doesn't sound that good.

Almost every review I've read has been "meh" at best. TBA isn't appealing me at all, so I'll likely give my review copy away. Thanks!

I find it hard to actually connect with the novel and the character at that point which is really disappoint. I can see potential in this books from the synopsis, but again the follow-through doesn't really appeal. Sorry it disappointed you Rachel, I hate DNF-ing books! :( Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409669758470666840noreply@blogger.com
