The first part was soooo long and tedious. I sat there waiting for something to happen and all that happened was life as usual (for the universe). I kept waiting for...I dunno, someone to get attacked or killed or exploded or something, but nope. The way it's split into parts is at once too boringly unequivocal and awkward. The way the first part ended really, really annoyed me. It was actually okay up until then, and then it started drowning in kitschiness. the LSD gimmick also annoyed me. A lot. Probably more than it should rightly do, but it did. The rest of it was rather cringe-worthy. A lot happens and you think something's going to come of it, but really, it just fizzles out, ends not with a band, but with a whimper. I really wish the author would have used the plot points xe introduced for something rather than letting them magically resolve themselves if you ignore them long enough.So, overall, a rather commonplace, humdrum sort of read, actually extremely exasperating at many times. 4.5I really enjoyed this book. I didn't find it flat at all. I liked the two MC's as well as the secondaries. Some reviews said it seemed like they weren't in love, but I disagree. In many books there are "mates" but this doesn't mean there isn't choice. In fact, the premise of this is how you suffer for those choices. I like the view of the future where there are vamps in the world, but I didn't care for the vamp structure dynamics, but I'm not overly interested in that. It certainly didn't detract from the book, but some will love it more than I did.
What do You think about Technically Dead (2012)?
Not going to read this one but that COVER is gorgeous!!!
