Probably closer to 2.5 stars. I'm not sure why, but there were a lot of things that just got under my skin with this book. The main character just seemed so fickle and immature in some scenes. I would have liked to see more depth to the why's of the personalities of some of the characters, and a little more consistency. I mean, she tells us her parents don't really care, but it seems like all the interactions with her mom show the opposite. Some of it is really cheesy, and some is not very believable. Like her parents are really going to change overnight from not being there and giving her rules and guards like crazy to telling her she really should date this guy, and suggesting she invite a bunch if friends over for a party while they take off for the night? Or, like a school teacher is really going to openly discuss and show video of vampires/werewolves that were recently found murdered nearby???The storyline wasn't horrible or anything. Just lots of little things kind if ruined it for me. First let me start by saying the cliff hanger at the end, is probably why I will even give the second book a chance. Why? Because Marcus seems like an interesting character. The main Character Juliet is a little annoying. You see this boy one time and your deeply in love? I understand this is "young adult" but I would actually think this is probably pre teen maybe. The actual story behind her father is interesting. I think its also interesting how her parents went from arguing daily to being super nice. It made me think maybe there is something weird going on. If the author does not go into how that massive change happened it will be really weird. Usually things do not ::snap:: change. There were some parts I liked but a lot of it was just kind of eh. I did not like how you read from Juliet's view and then next line :BAM: your reading from Marcus's view. I think it could have been a little more creative. But i will still give the second book a chance since I did kind of like it.
What do You think about Beginnings (2013)?
Only reason it even got one star is because it was at many times unintentionally hilarious.
