This is what I call popcorn reading. If it were made into a movie, it would be a pg-13, 90 minute episode of Supernatural meets Vampire Diaries with equally appalling actors. I don't understand these 5 star reviews that are praising this book as a breath of fresh air or anything like that. It makes me wonder if I look through some of the shelves of the reviewers will I find five star reviews for Twilight and 50 Shades. It also makes me question the types of books those who are paid to review the book read. Phoenix has no idea what she wants from these characters. They're all one dimensional and really serve no purpose to each other. I'm wondering if she even outlined this mess and bothered to create character biographies. This book is not a secret wonder, breath taking, or a special snowflake by any means. It should be marketed towards 16 year olds who think Twilight is the greatest book ever written. Heather is basically a cave woman with a gun and badge. Every time she opened her mouth all I could hear was "I am cop. I have gun. I have badge. Do what I say." She tried to throw non-existent weight around every moment she could especially in situations where she couldn't. Dante was never in her protective custody but she treated him as such. She had the entire case figured out in mere minutes which was completely laughable seeing as she had been hunting the serial killer for three years. Her backstory is nonexistent except for a mention of a sister (which serves no purpose at all. At least not in this book) and her father who apparently was a shitty father but a great mentor. The story centers around Dante who's backstory is even weaker. Lucian's secret is figured out within moments of meeting him. Time that should have been spent on Joanna and her involvement with Dante an his past should have been fleshed out a great deal more but was left lacking and wanting. If it wasn't for the fact I picked this book up for next to nothing when Borders was closing, I would never have wasted my time on it. Same with books two and three. I'm going to read them because these books can be ripped through in an afternoon. That's how much they can't be taken seriously.

This is the first Jane Austen book I've ever read, but already I can tell why people make those faces like they feel sorry for me when I mention I'm taking an Austen class this summer. This may be an on-the-surface evaluation, but nothing happens! She makes entire chapters out of one look of indifference from a boy and how it makes the heroine of the book FEEL. Don't get me wrong, I can get wrapped up in this because I love reading about the female perspective, and it's especially interesting how much you can relate to a girl from the late 1700s. But even for me the lack of actual plot action gets a little monotonous. Too much contemplation, not enough stuff happening--girls who read this book get enough of that in their own lives! Now it makes a lot of sense why guys don't like reading Austen, either. I haven't finished the book yet, so maybe it will end up impressing me. I will update when I finish. So, it didn't impress me. After taking the full Austen course, I can say Northanger Abbey is just like all the others, but maybe slightly less interesting. You know the heroine and her male counterpart WILL get married in the end, you just don't know how. Usually it involves some comical misunderstanding by the main character that makes you fear they won't end up together, but at the end it was all in her head. As was the entire book. All I have to say is I respect Jane Austen for being sarcastic and funny, especially for her time, but sometimes she takes 5 pages to say what she could say in 5 sentences. Watch the movies--most of them are well done and you get almost as much as you would get out of the books.
