Stopped roughly on page 114

Once again, we enter a world full of clichéd writing. Nicely done. The first time I picked this garbage up was last year in November, the average user rating really excited me. Not to mention how some people are saying it's "so much better than Twilight". Excuse me while I put my eyeballs back inside my head because I rolled them too damn hard. I kept forcing myself to continue, constantly telling myself "it will get better". Boy, was I ever wrong. 

This was nothing like Twilight; in fact, this was worse than Twilight. (I read Twilight first and enjoyed it quite a lot, so reading a remake of this was really annoying.) This has what every other paranormal young adult novel has: 
A) a douche and a stupid Mary Sue who loves being treated badly by Mr Douche (okay, so maybe our MC didn't take too kindly into being treated like shit, but she kept coming back to him as though she loved it). 
B) The clichéd story-line: new girl arrives and meets mysterious people (Douche and his stupid sister) people tend to stay away from.
C) finds out what the mysterious people are but doesn't give a damn because she loves Mr Douche so much.

The list is endless.

Yeah, I get it, Armentrout, Daemon's super hot with a body like a greek god and eyes that're piercing green. I get it. His sexiness was described in almost every. Damn. Page. I think it was constantly stated so we could forget about how much of an asshole Daemon was and focus on his hotness overload. Everyone seems to have loved our protagonist, but I really hated her. Okay I admit, it was pretty cool to read that our MC was a book blogger, it was really cool, but it doesn't cover the fact that this writing was mediocre and cliché (can I also add that the arguments taken place in this book was so... god what's the word? Childish? Try hard? Somewhere along those lines). (I find it extremely funny how the author made fun of twilight when her shit of a book was a complete rip-off.* [applauds]) Oh well.

(Sighs), everyone seems to love Daemon because he was a douche. I think this is a new trend -- get a douche for a boyfriend because it's so hot. (Rips hair out) 

* Stop trying so fucking hard to hate on something you were inspired by, Armentrout:

And when he spoke, it wasn't out loud. It was in my head. This is what we look like. We are beings of light. Even in human form, we can bend light to our will. There was a pause. As you can see, I don’t look like a giant insect. Or… sparkle. Even in my head I could hear the disgust on that last one.

“Will you show me what you really look like? You don't sparkle, do you?”




see what i did there?
