This is book 3 of the All the Pretty Monsters series. This has been the best of the series so far. Mostly because there was full train of thought and not as much talking in circles and riddles. The writing is still juvenile though; there is more telling than showing, and this book needs a proofreader and another round of editing.
There are a few instances of continuity issues and things that don't really jive but for the most part it can be overlooked. I think the one that bothered me the most was when there was a horde of wolves involved in an attack, they were organizing their attack and meeting places via cell phones. When they switch to wolf, how are they carrying their phones, especially since when they switch back to human to send a message, they are naked. It just doesn't make sense.
We don't have much happening with the supposed reverse harem theme. Violet hooks up with a few of the guys and even has one fun scene with two of the guys at once. But even with all of that, no one seems to be catching feelings or developing a relationship. It is more like, oops, she slipped and fell on their penises. So the romance portion of this series is almost completely non-existent at this point. There are a few sweet words here and there but nothing really significant.
I'm still curious so I will continue on with the series. I don't really recommend it yet. I just hate leaving things unfinished and since I started, I want to know how it all works out. I'm enjoying it, but mostly just because I am already invested. The beginning of this series (most specifically book 1) is too much of a cluster fuck and super confusing too read, for me to really recommend it....more
This was tons better than book 1. Still a tad confusing in a couple of parts but much easier to read. I am still interested in the story so I will be This was tons better than book 1. Still a tad confusing in a couple of parts but much easier to read. I am still interested in the story so I will be continuing on to book 3.
There was some one on one sex with a few characters in this book (book 2) but no relationship building and no reverse harem type setup quite yet. ...more
1.5 Stars. I rounded up to 2 stars because I am curious enough that I will give book 2 a chance. This book was confusing as all hell. I did not care f1.5 Stars. I rounded up to 2 stars because I am curious enough that I will give book 2 a chance. This book was confusing as all hell. I did not care for the writing. It was really disjointed. Everyone talked in circles, which was the intent of the story- the main character never getting full answers, but it made it difficult to follow along. I spent most of the book unsure which guy was which because they weren't unique or very distinguishable. It wasn't until almost the very end that things started to get more clear and the writing a bit more smooth. Because of that, I was curious enough to buy the next book. The caveat being that I will return it if it is anything like this book.
I really liked Anna, the ghost. That's pretty much my favorite thing from the book.
There isn't any sex or hanky panky in this book. There were a couple kisses and that's it. There was not any dating or reverse harem happening yet. This is likely just an intro to the characters book so we don't get anything more with them here.
I don't recommend this book. I'm only continuing on because I am invested at this point and the book ended on a cliffhanger. ...more
