**spoiler alert** 4.5 This went dark with the brother maybe liking his sister in a way he shouldn't, what is that about?
After this, I decided to buy e**spoiler alert** 4.5 This went dark with the brother maybe liking his sister in a way he shouldn't, what is that about?
After this, I decided to buy every volume. I spent 55 quid on this series because i am that obsessed. A new character was introduced as a friend and I was like bestie goals instantly. Other then the creepy brother, every character slaps. ...more

Also what was the point of setting it in a new world when no world-building was done for it, it could have been set on earth easily....more

I really enjoyed the family scenes, glad the romance took a way back seat. I read this so quickly, I could not put it down. The ending wasn't as greatI really enjoyed the family scenes, glad the romance took a way back seat. I read this so quickly, I could not put it down. The ending wasn't as great, there was very little setting, a lack of atmosphere and the main character could be a little annoying at times though but I really quite enjoyed it.
so the ending. this guy who is just about keeping a roof over his six children's heads is going to be able to adopt a troubled boy with little to no money, yeah I don't see the courts going for that. Then this guy who has six kids and a business to run, struggling for money every day is going to be able to provide a home for a autistic teen he dosen't even know? Okay then, that would totally happen, yeah. (hide spoiler)]...more

I still kind of wish there was another reason for why these people were being hunted down, just wasn't the biggest fan of how it connected in the end but the lead up to it was great. ...more
2.5 This was miles better then Twilight. Why? Because Edward has more personality then Bella, because Edward can read other's minds which means we get2.5 This was miles better then Twilight. Why? Because Edward has more personality then Bella, because Edward can read other's minds which means we get their insights and more interesting shit happened to Edward then it did to Bella. If it weren't for Bella, I'd actually honestly be digging Edward but the moment Bella comes along and the more obsessive he gets, the least I like him which is a shame because he's actually a cool dude. At the start.
I cannot believe I read this. I read it for free because I just don't spend money on anything book related Twilight, never have and never will. So because I was able to read it for free, I thought why not give it a try not realizing I might actually like the thing. which i did. kinda.
This sucked:
-Bella, oh Bella. You are so boring, what does anyone see in you? It's made more then clear she's not super beautiful, everyone knows she lacks in personality and yet all the boys want to be with her? How?
-Bella and Edward relationship. Insta love, no chemistry, pure obsession. They are so obsessed with one another, it's all I can see. Love? What love?
-Edward trying to justify spying on a young girl while she is sleeping in her bed. And failing. Still a creep. Not to mention stalking her, stalking other's people's minds to see Bella through them. He even considers admitting her to a mental hospital at one point because he would be able to do that-so with this book we find out, he's even more abusive then he ever was in Twilight, wow. When he skips Angela's mind because she's changing-he treats Angela so much better then he ever does Bella.
-Edward's waffling. This boy's mind, thank god he's the one who can read minds because if you were the reader of minds and Edward was in your family? You couldn't live with him, you just couldn't, he'd be a nightmare. It makes for some very boring parts in this novel, it made me almost want to skip some of it and a lot of his thoughts was so repetitive.
This Ruled:
-The Cullen's. They were always the best thing of Twilight and in this, we see them in a way that we never have before and every moment with any of them was great. Like take the romance out of this, take Bella out of this and made this a Cullen book seen through Edward's eyes-would have been one hell of a novel but it had to be ruined.
-Father-son relationship. I want him as my father, he's so fucking precious. The Christmas tree? I fell hard.
-Rosalie. Stan Rosalie. She keeps it real.
-Edward's waffling. Every time someone speaks or thinks anything, he analyses the shit out of it. Although it gets annoying and shit, at the start it's amusing.
-The chase scene. Would have loved to see this in the movie. Highlight moment....more
