Helpful Score: 2

This book was a trainwreck yet I could not look away and stop reading it. I really wanted to throw it across the room a multiple points.

I ended up hating the main character who possesses no backbone whatsoever. The plot is the same old crappy tune that women's books never cease to deliver: A naive, self-loathing and unattractive (by society's standards ) girl who believes she's undeserving of love who loves the dark, brooding, mysterious guy (Heathcliff, Edward Cullen etc etc) who has some dark secret that keeps him from return her love etc. I'll not go through the whole premise since everyone is familiar with it. It's full of the tried and true gushy romance one would expect. The supernatural element comes off as merely a ploy to gain readers since this is a romance, not a fantasy novel in the least bit.

I've read on Amazon that the 2nd one is even worse. I'll probably read it for the trainwreck quality as well (which earned this one the second star), then promptly swap it.
