My very own goth Mr. Darcy. Jane Austen would be so proud.I can't finish this. It's too terrible for words. My third one-star rating this year.Heh. This is a really hard book to review. There were times I wanted to give it 5 stars, and then times I wanted to give it 1 star.The GoodThe plot really wasn't bad at all. Some parts of it felt like I was reading a description of a Tim Burton movie ( more Corpse Bride, less Batman). Those parts were very cool.Theia's friends, Donny and Amelia? Wow. I was blown away with how well they were written!The last few chapters where Hayes turns everything upside down? Very cool. In fact, that's
I must say that, aside from a few issues, I actually did enjoy FALLING UNDER. It is unfortunate to say that while this book was enjoyable overall, I do not think its heroine will leave any lasting impressions on me. But before I critique the not-so-good, let me list what I enjoyed about the story.First of all, FALLING UNDER is wonderfully devoid of any love triangles. Yes, I'm sure a lot of people can probably imagine my relief reading a story that doesn't have me wanting to strangle a girl for
I was lucky enough to read this as a draft and was blown away! I agree with another reviewer that the imagery is amazing. When telling Gwen what I thought I said, "This is going to be big, like Twilight big." You will LOVE it! :)
I have wildly mixed feelings about this book, which is loosely based on the myth of Persephone. I'm not sure I can write a coherent review because I'm so conflicted, so here goes the pros and cons list.For the first two thirds of the book:* I was pretty annoyed with the main character Theia. Stop falling in love with boys just because they're kinda cute, girls! * I really, really disliked Haden. Manipulative, bad-tempered, controlling, stalker-ish guys who try to make girls jealous, especially
Im a sucker for a sexy cover. Gwen Hayes has such a cover for her debut, Falling Under, a supernatural YA about a young girl, who dreams of a dark world and of the boy who resides there, who in turns enters her world and tries to claim her soul. I had some reservations about this book because of my recent dismay over the large amount of YA Paranormal books published that are trying to ride the Twilight train for all its worth. Time and again Im seeing a lonely female protagonist with MIA
