I wasn't as disappointed with the lingering questions on the Arcana as I was over the questions regarding the Flash. That was such a pivotal event and I was frustrated that so much time was wasted on the high school flashback. Who cares get to the flash and the good scary stuff! I was a bit disappointed in this overall!Heidi@Rainy Day Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984216720423826256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-52051975855748418622012-12-04T09:15:52.367-05:002012-12-04T09:15:52.367-05:00I reviewed this one, too, but I just couldn't ...I reviewed this one, too, but I just couldn't finish it.

Im trying to think if thats ever happened to me before.......... Oh yes! Partials by Dan Wells. I remember how that felt - its kind of strange and somewhat uncomfortable, but it seems like u really enjoyed this one overall. Im intrigued - ive heard good and bad. But what you said about Evie as a heroine really peaked my interest - i love slow growth for the MC because you really feel like you know him/ her in the end, you know?<br />In any case, GREAT review!! Will be reading this soon! :) <3<br /><br />Sierra @ Yearning to ReadSierra Abramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330264859252593838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-65949481943396894782012-12-03T23:09:00.121-05:002012-12-03T23:09:00.121-05:00Hmm..not sure I want to pick this up right away af...Hmm..not sure I want to pick this up right away after hearing about Jackson and Evie's trying behavior.

I have a feeling that I'm the only one who had no idea of what was really going on with this book. Also, like you I wasn't very fond of the characters. Evie, especially, frustrated me so much. I hated how cold she came across to Jackson. I had a hard time connecting to her which further dampened by enjoyment. I'm still glad to hear that you liked it, Jenny! :) I'm not sure if I'm going to read the next book or not though!<br />Great review! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-87470270662285400952012-12-03T10:52:35.090-05:002012-12-03T10:52:35.090-05:00Kresley's IAD series is on my agenda next year...Kresley's IAD series is on my agenda next year.

I've been meaning to read this one since it started popping out in goodreads. Guess, I need more pushing. I usually enjoyed pairs with antagonistic relationship but soon developed into something more. Although I understand that they could be really frustrating sometimes. Glad to see that you enjoyed this one.

What is wrong with me? (Don't answer that.)<br />I get so frustrated by characters' behavior sometimes and I tend to just give up and read something else instead, so I'm not sure how I'd get along with Evie and Jackson, but I AM willing to try if I stumble upon a copy.
