My Rating; 4*s
Would I recommend this book? Probably, to some people.
Will I read anything else by this author? I'd give something else a chance, definitely.
My Review; Yes, this was another book that was originally a Twilight fan fic. Good, now we have that out of the way, let's get onto the review. Shall we?
So, as you can see by the start of my review, I have no problem whatsoever reading published books that were formally fan fiction. I know a lot of people have a problem with it because they feel as if the author is ripping off the original author's story, but I don't mind it because usually the story is entirely different than that of the original book.
This book, I felt that it did have a fan fiction feel to it. I could kind of tell who characters were based on. Well, it did at first anyway, because as the story went on I found myself forgetting those similarities.
I was quite unsure about this book when I first started reading, but it really turned out to be quite a good story with a really, really shocking ending.
This book is an emotional roller-coaster. That's for sure.
I just wanted to pick up some of the characters and hug them. Can I?
If you have no problem with reading published works that were previously fan fiction, then I think you should give this book a try.
