Armed? Or A False?!?!?

Mediocre at best... I wanted to fall in love with this story. This novel feels young, written from the authors mind and that is it. When we read we want to feel as if the characters are real, vulnerable, like we are the fly on the wall. The author is like the puppeteer and in this book all I see is strings and all I hear is her voice. I'm sad to say there's nothing to attach you to the unbelievable characters within. And the storyline really couldn't stand on its own due to the lack of character so I won't be moving forward through this series as much as I may have wanted to.
D- 1/5

My Soul To Save... The Third And As Far As I Go....


..... And the ball was now fumbled. The story lost its small momentum in this book that was slow to build through the last two. I started to skim rather than be ensnared into the story with the characters. So sadly I won't be spending any more time reading this series.

To Save Them? Or To Let Them Go?!?!?!

My Soul To Take by Rachel Vincent

Not exactly what I had been hoping for but I'm into it nonetheless. It felt almost cliche with the whole; young teen finds out they have something different about them.... befriends similar teen.... lalalala.

I pictured Kaylee staying in the psych ward and somehow breaking out and then we learn from there that she is different etc etc. Personally, I'm wondering what happened to the girl she met inside there...that's really when  we realize that there was a paranormal essence to her story. My other pet peeve in this book is that Kaylee refers to her few days in the psych ward as if it were months..... get a grip.

I do however see this series, with slight tweaking becoming a cool TV series like Teen Wolf, or something similar. Not as psychological as I had wished but definitely paranormal so I'll go forward. I would say this book would be geared toward more of the younger teens just getting into paranormal.
