Stephine Perkins should probably stick to romance because the romance in this book was amazing. It was by far my favorite part, I absolutely adored Makani and Olly together that being said I do not think that Perkins pulled off the horror aspect. This book wasn't very scary at all but it was very gory and it didn't feel while thought out.

I have tried to read this book a hundred times before but just haven't been able to get into it but I decided to read this book for the tom topples read-a-thon and I was able to get through it in about 5 days.
I really liked the fairy tale aspect of this book it was quite enjoyable. I really enjoyed Conner I found his to be quite funny and enjoyable to read about. I didn't really like the writing.

I had so much hope for this book and wanted to love it so much but that didn't really happen... Don't get me wrong I enjoy the story but I just have some things that I didn't like.
I didn't really enjoy the writing, the author was doing a lot of telling rather than showing. The writing made it hard for me to picture what was going on.  
The characters weren't well developed and I don't feel like I know them at all. We also never really learned about their pasts and what has made them the people they are. I just feel like we know nothing about them and their pasts.
The relationship also wasn't very developed and felt very instalove. One second they wanted to kill each other and then the next they were in love and it just didn't do it for me.
Overall, the book was boring to me.

This is my least favorite of the Twilight series. I read this book years ago and I remember very much disliking this book. It's boring and it really shows how little of a personality Bella has, like Bella is the definition of pathetic in this book.
