Alright, so this book took way longer than expected to finish. It should have been a fairly easy read, that I didn't have high hopes for. Somehow though, this book shot down and stomped on every extremely small expectation I had for it. Let me sum up the book for you, and I quote directly from it, (kindle edition page 199):

"Well, let's see. My parents get killed by this evil half-demon guy, and I find myself a nice little warehouse to chill in. And then you drop by, and you invite me to join your quest to kill the guy that tried to kill me. And I, having nothing better to do, join." ... "Killing this guy turns out to be a lot harder than I thought, and along the way I find out that there are a whole bunch of people, just like me, getting killed. And shit gets crazier. But no matter how bad it got, you were always there. We helped each other. I thought we were friends. I thought..."

Ok, now imagine the book has so many of these crazy conversations. The entire book up until that point, was basically them in a road, eating, sleeping, and having really pointless conversations. Every once in a while there was action just thrown in haphazardly, and it basically was like this: Cayne got shot, probably more than once. Julia screams his name, and stands to the side. Within a few minutes though, he gets the bullet(s) out and is healed within a day, like nothing ever happened, except for the scar.



Then to add on top of that, Cayne has "charm." He can basically tell people he wants something and they just give it to him. Yet he uses it all the time to get what he wants, and basically steals cars, hotel rooms, clothes, and other things. For some reason though, it doesn't work on Julia. It was never explained, just like why Julia doesn't know what she is, or why everyone with the strange birthmark is getting killed. There are so many weird questions that I have with this book and it just annoys me.

Julia acts like a thirteen year old. Supposed to be seventeen and yet she whines about everything, and cries all the time. Yet when her adoptive parents burn in their house she just runs to a warehouse and cries for a few days. Boom, here comes Cayne with abs and a sexy face, and everything is ok! It doesn't make any sense. NOTHING in this book made any sense to be. Maybe it was the way it was written, maybe it's because the characters just annoy the heck out of me, maybe it's because all the action parts were jumbled up and shorter than the conversations they have in a stolen car, I don't know. This book just didn't work for me.

Alright, so sorry for the long rant. If you want something short, and don't mind whiny main characters and guys who are re-described as incredibly hot at least once a chapter, then you might like this book. I didn't, and quite frankly I will steer clear of the rest of this series and probably avoid anything resembling it for a while.
