With all the Daemon Invasion and Team Daemon craziness and one of my friend's reviews a couple of weeks ago I've been ITCHING to read! AND NOW YOUR REVIEW ADFHKALG.<br />Thanks for being honest about the slow start and Daemon's jerkiness, but it just sounds so amazing despite that! So excited to get started :)Giannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303308558257925816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549619036683952310.post-56873617608732627702012-05-14T19:53:38.861-07:002012-05-14T19:53:38.861-07:00I really had my ups and downs with this book. I lo...I really had my ups and downs with this book. I loved several aspects of the story but at certain points I wondered what on earth I was reading. I loved the story in the beginning then the middle is where I started to have issues with the way the story and characters were going and then in the end I liked it but I began to wonder if it was too much like Twilight. I hate to compare books but this time around after hearing how Armentrout's Half-Blood series is like Vampire Academy I just have to wonder if Armentrout is using big teen books as a major inspiration for plot points. <br /><br />Thanks for the great review , glad you liked this one in the end.

You know, the first...I actually tried reading it... You know, the first sample chapters and all. But I couldn't get into it! And everyone was excited about this book, but it just didn't do it for me. However, now that you say you couldn't get into it until halfway... Maybe I'll give it a try?<br /><br />Because I read Half-Blood and I instantly fell in love with the author's writing and the action scenes. However, as it was too similar to VA for my tastes, I decided not to read it, either. LOL I really have to find a book I read by this author, because they look promising.<br /><br />Nice review! :D I'll think about reading it.Giannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303308558257925816noreply@blogger.com
