Genre: Contemporary Young Adult
Sensuality: 9
I do not know how I feel about this book. It does not totally
suck. But it is pretty bad. It centers around two privileged brothers and their
soon to be stepsister. The brothers are the most popular and attractive guys in
the area, and the stepsister is soon enough, the most envied and admired girl due
to her connection with them.
I knew what I was getting into before I purchased this one,
so I can’t even complain too much. Now, I like my fair share of teenage romance
(I still watch The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, etc pretty religiously) but the
book wasn’t really a romance to me.
Fallen Crest instead seemed to focus on how you
can become addicted and negatively affected by power. The chemistry was not
there for me for the couple, and this trend of macho, aggressive male characters
in books is getting tiring.
We don’t need to give some of these men in existence any
extra ideas! In order to maintain my sanity, I have to believe that I am NOT
the only adult worried about authors writing about teenagers being sooooo
sexually active. I know that many are these days, but my goodness! I must be
from the last conservative country in the western world. And these little
kiddies getting these books with the innocent looking covers. Some parents are
completely oblivious. I thought that the Baby Sitters Club was HOT back in the
day.
All in all, it was not that great. There was no conflict, just
drama, drama, drama!
Read it for free if you can. After reading it, I had strong
appreciation for my adulthood. But if you don’t get to it its not a major loss.
2/5
Take care
