Synopsis:

Review:

 

I recently got asked if this series was worth reading and I said no. But at the same time I think it is one of those books that people either love or hate it and there is no in-between. I mean seriously no in-between.

I cannot stress enough how much I hate Blue. She is annoying and irritating and I feel like she should have had the silly slapped out of her a long time ago. I don’t care about her and when I was reading chapters from her perspective, I just wanted to stand up and bang my head against the way. Does no one realise that this story would have been so much more intense and edge without this annoying little hippy brat in there? I can’t stand her. She kills the story for me. Why does her kiss have to kill her love? Why can’t she just kiss herself and die already??? Seriously though?

 

The guy gang, I love them. I love their personalities and how different and edgy they are but yet the four of them are cute little peas in a pod. Protect them. Adore them. They are a gift.

The writing again was great and Maggie uses unique and beautiful words to describe the situation around our characters.

The ending. *yawn* predicted and boring. Not in the least bit excited nor surprised.

Overall, it was such a mehhh read. The series is finally over.
