When her parents find a boy (though in pajamas) in her room in the middle of the night and call her out on it, Grace completely rebels instead of self-reflects (as you'd expect from a 17 year old and also proving her mother's worries completely legitimate) and acts like a spoiled child. She seemed very independent and self-aware in the first book but as she's become more reliant on Sam, she's seemed to lost a bit of herself and now she's exactly what her mother thinks she is. While Cole, a brand-new character, seems to have developed and grown impossibly from one moment to the next, Grace and Sam seem very stagnant - Grace seems to have even reverted a bit to, albeit a more realistic (see: immature and naive) version of a 17 year old, a really annoying and selfish teenager. I enjoyed the plot of this one more than the first, and with the additional POV's from Cole and Isabel we get a break from the floof of Grace and Sam's relationship. I mean, I did really like the book, despite how critical I'm sounding. There's also a few too many perspectives a book in first person, but that's just my opinion.

It doesn't fit with how hardcore he's trying to be? Though if you imagine him looking like Zayn Malik. well, he definitely grew on me over the course of the book (thanks to Isabel, no doubt), but like he's made out to be this hardcore rock star but like he's a teenager with a fanbase consisting of 10 year old!? That's not being a rockstar, that's being Justin Bieber or One Direction and while there's nothing wrong with that, it's not really what he's trying to be. And all Sam's beautiful lyrics seem kinda ridiculous, especially in Swedish (but a coworker assured me it's just as bad in English.).Ĭole is. I mean, I'm not on Grace's parents' side or anything, they're complete bastards, but reading about how in love they are is kinda tedious. The first pair because zzzzzz teen romance. My two biggest beefs with this book is Sam/Grace and Cole St.

It's spring-ish in the book and it's spring-ish now that I'm reading it so that's nice as well. I'm still really into the way the werewolves work in this book and I'm glad it's being further explored in this one.
