If the characters were always likable they would be a bit too good to be true. Having the characters be spoiled or such made it more realistic to me. Also, I feel like Britt was very similar to girls her age these days. I don’t mean to say every girl is spoiled, and boy-obsessed. However of the girls I know, they are actually quite similar. Although, I do agree that the romance was a bit strange. Calvin was just a bad guy; I’m not sure why Britt liked him besides him being attractive. Also, she never got to know Mason, which is why I found it strange that she would fall in love with him. I think the book would’ve been great without the whole romance in the end.

I also had a hard time with the Hush, Hush series although I initially liked the first book. Patch was such a jerk at times. Maybe that is the kind of male "hero" that the author likes or thinks teens will like.Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-38189901319383338382014-11-06T21:06:25.158-05:002014-11-06T21:06:25.158-05:00I just wasn't feeling either character, but es...I just wasn't feeling either character, but especially Korbie. Even the guys annoyed me to no end. I'm glad you connected with Britt a bit more than me.

I actually liked her overall (though her refusal to see the red flags regarding Calvin frustrated me at times), but I agree with you on Korbie. I was not at all sad that her role was largely limited to the beginning of the book and we didn't have to deal with her throughout. Glad the mystery aspect was a highlight for you though!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
