Review:
After the disaster that can only be names Stalking Jack the Ripper, comes along this sad mouldy sandwich called Hunting Prince Dracula.
You know how a series is meant to be better as the writer matures? Well this didn’t…
Let’s continue on with the anti-Audrey Rose campaign. Honestly she has like 5 thoughts that rattle around in her tiny little brain:
- Oh no a dead body. It’s not like she is study anatomy and cuts up dead bodies all day, so why is she continuous carrying on like a little bitch when it comes to a dead body and completely getting a fright? Maybe that bitch needs to change her career path… just sayyying
- Umm constantly getting annoyed by Thomas and then fawning all over him. JUST SIT ON HIS FACE AND WIGGLE already, I am so over the back and forth puppy sick love battle in her head. I mean seriously, it took away from the story line and turned into some twisted romance novel that made me want to pull my eyes balls from their sockets and frame them on the wall.
- Why be fake brave? I am so sick of these phony ass bitches with their phony ass personalities. I don’t get it. She tries soo hard to be a tough character when really isn’t and it comes across as being a snobby and rude know it all.
- Can we revisit the fact that CONTINUOUSLY throughout the whole book she talks about how she isn’t like most girls and doesn’t like fancy things but then spends the whole book talking about her fabulous outfits? DOUBLE STANDARDS. I mean if this bitch had an Instagram she would be that brat taking photos of only herself in the latest outfits.
- She has the highest opinion of herself. “they had no idea who I was.” Are the strangers that you have never seen before meant to know who are you? “I was a lioness.” Are you serious? If someone walked up to you and smacked you in the face you would sit there and cry, you are not a lioness you are a piece of blubbering shit.
Thomas needs glasses cause I don’t know what the fuck he actually sees in her. Really though. I’m sure if she was a real life character men would literally be rolling their eyes in disgust.
The writing did not improve, the characters got worse.
The whole plot was stupid and completely easy to figure out.
In a zombie apocalypse when we run out of toilet paper, I know which book I will be using..
