Oh, I wish I haven't downloaded so many e-books! I have to go through so much to bring you a review (a hint for you, my lovely reader: sent me either dark chocolate, a black rose, any cool decadent piece of jewelry,...) 'cause I'm doing this for free and what once looked like fun is now pain.
Because in the book I've just finished was that nasty feeling of deja vu. Ever read Twilight, a Sookie Stackhouse novel and Fifty Shades of whatever? It's all mixed in here.
The beginning introduces a gifted waitress who shines like a beacon for the vampire world (yaaas, that's the Sookie part) and there is this vampire guy who approaches her and despite his inability to sparkle in the sunlight he bears certain resemblance of Edward from Twilight since he likes to stalk in the name of protection, show off (jumping on the tall buildings, being fast, buying new cars and being melodramatic by saying how Holly - that's the protagonist- should keep away from him while he is getting closer and closer), manipulate ... and since this is for adults he likes to spank people (hello, Mr Grey). But fret not, he's got a core of a marshmallow.
It was a quite disturbing read regarding the fact it was a mix of three books (maybe more, I haven't read everything under the sun) because you just can't help it and snicker at the scenes you've once read in a different book and you just know how the characters will act. But then again it may be a good thing - as I once said, people who grew up on Twilight surely bought all those Fifty Shades books which means there is quite large audience likely to enjoy this book.
GENRE: (un)popular fiction revisited
FANGS OUT: not that badly written for a piece which was freeFANGS RETRACTING: we've all read it before
