~My Thoughts~
One word, typical.
Not a signal original thing happened within this book, it was completely typical! So thank god it's free! I'm not going to lie, the beginning kind of caught my attention but then when I reached the end, I was disappointed. This is a start to a serial, so why have that kind of beginning?! I get the author was trying to pull you in and maybe get you to buy the next episode, however this story was completely flat.
If you read a lot of paranormal books, like I do, you can start to see a pattern. A cliché filled formula and that's what this book does. It's Franki's birthday, which has something to do with her paranormal heritage (of course she doesn't know it yet). Something mysterious comes her way and then at night, her and her friend are hopping between bars, she gets this "instinct" which leads her to where she needs to be. Here more mysterious things happen and the first guy she lays eyes on will turn into her supernatural hero. She tries to find out what's going on but no one tells her a thing and again, it's all very typical. I was hoping for an awesome New Adult Paranormal but instead I get something I feel like I've read before.You can expect I rolled my eyes a lot.
Overall, the characters were flat and nothing felt refreshing. At the end it was just, meh. Nothing pulled at my interest to want to continue the serial and the only reason why I gave this a two star rating is because I'm hopeful that it'll get better over time. And because it is a serial, so it doesn't feel right to give it a one. Even though it's typical, nothing new, and I was completely unsatisfied.
It'll make you shrill
Sweet Readings Everybody!
