I want to preface this review by saying I never intended to read this book as one look at the cover told me it was going to be a Twilight knockoff. That being said, I was looking for a new GraphicAudio audiobook to listen to and thought “How bad could it be?” 

Oh, how naive I was.

As someone who has read more than their fair share of fan fiction in their lifetime, I don’t typically write a book off for being poorly written as long as the story is entertaining. That is not the case for this book. I typically enjoy a lot of YA books but the writing is incredibly juvenile and the author literally uses phrases like “FML” and “sexy AF” multiple times throughout.

Grace goes on so many monologues in her head that half of them could have been cut out with no effect on the plot (which there is very little of to begin with). I was turned off when Jaxon talked to Grace for the first time and she proceeded to ramble about how hot and broken and sexy he was for 10 minutes before she actually responded to what he said. From this point on whenever Grace would go on about how ‘mysteriously sexy’ Jaxon was, I would fast forward until dialogue actually started again.

While I could go on and on about what I disliked about the book, I feel like I’ve ever wasted enough time that I can never get back on this. Too many similarities to other stories and WAY too many pop culture references to said stories that were being ripped off.
