I'm actually not even positive this is an indie author but I stumbled onto this one while searching for something new to read and really enjoyed it.<br /><br />Gretta Hewson<br /><a href="https://www.amerisleep.com/states/az/mattress-stores/Tucson-AZ-Mattress-Stores.html" rel="nofollow">Amerisleep Tucson Mattress Store</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667358305955456153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264448168970865807.post-20639034069987667622013-07-08T16:57:17.849-04:002013-07-08T16:57:17.849-04:00Well, I'm the odd man out.

My main reason for this was that it was almost all narrative. I wanted to see how the characters interacted and it just wasn't there. Drove me nuts. I do have an ARC of the second one and will be starting a buddy read with my friend in a few days. I hope it's better than the first. I met Joelle at BEA she is so nice!The Cover Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936117064881855016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264448168970865807.post-25284896296589129142013-07-08T16:56:40.216-04:002013-07-08T16:56:40.216-04:00I'm so glad that you enjoyed this!

I see that it wasn't easy for you to get into either though, so I might just have to push through for a little bit.

Too many reviewers, went blah, this one is so similar to Hunger Games, I just can't like it, its not original. I didn't feel that way at all. I loved this book, the writing enticed, the story intrigued and moved me. I can't wait for the next book either.
