I’ve been meaning to try the first book mainly because so many bloggers are fans. I’m over the love triangle thing myself…and why does it always seem like I find them when I read young adult books? I just finished Beautiful Creatures and found myself distinctly annoyed when I read the sneak peek for the second book. THERE BETTER NOT BE ONE!! That is all 🙂

You say ominously love triangley, I’m guessing that means nothing/not much has happened on that front yet. Really not sure what I think about series that do that, start it later. At least with ones that are upfront you can make a decision but when the series has already worked without one…

Also, I did not like the end because OMG how are you going to fix that?!

All these emotions have been swirling for like..the last three months. I can’t wait for the next one.

And if you had spent enough time with Eden, Cruz and Santana on SANTA BARBARA, you might love them too.

However, I appreciate that he is trying so hard to combat his socialization. And I loved his sibs and how love outbalanced socialization crap. Yes, icky rape stuff, but I felt it was not gratuitous, which rapey stuff so often is, and in fact, the rapey stuff was always presented in a way that left no doubt that rapey stuff and rapey perpetrators are The Worst People in The (Joint) Universe(s). I, however, did NOT like the ending. I mean, why is it that everyone can see the deal with Akiva and Karou except Akiva and Karou. And also, as a separate complaint, (SPOILER ALERT): I really loved who Karou was before she knew she was Deer Girl, and I wanted Akiva to love her for being Karou rather than really being Deer Girl. Because, who/what does he really love? And finally, you didn’t mention what you thought of the humans. I loved them, and thought they added immeasurably to the book, but I’ve seen other reviews in which the readers disdained them. So what is your take?
