The author makes a point to give Sancho his “balls”, which is cute, but everyone else is the same. They were over-exaggerated bad-guys and I think the book could have made its point without them.and without annoying the senses out of me.ģ) Characteristic dialogue. Dick, Madison, Hayden, Heather, Chin Dimple. Not the kind of characters who made me root for the protagonist, but the kind who made me angry that I was wasting my time reading the stupid stuff coming out of their mouths. This issue seemed like a cheap way for the author to victimize the protagonist and help her stand out.Ģ) A huge chunk of the 500+ pages in the book was taken up by straight up annoying characters. No real reason is given for them to be hated so much by the rest of human kind, aside from their powers attracting the interlopers, but that’s obviously not their fault.

I wish I had been one of Jenna's beta readers, and here are some of the issues I would have brought to her attention:ġ) I don't understand the widespread persecution of chimeras. For the life of me, I don’t understand why there are so many 5 star reviews for this novel, but I’m going to be honest about my opinion. My expectations were high after watching the author's vlog, but I was frustrated in 50% of Eve: The Awakening. I read a lot, and I tend to be critical of books, but this has been one of the worst I've read in years. I really regret buying it.įirst off, I want to say I love Jenna Moreci's youtube vlog, but this book was a flop for me. I'm really disappointed, because I thought I was going to love this book, but I found it boring and, on top of that, incredibly annoying. I mean, why was everyone in this book a walking stereotype? And of course, Eve also happens to be the most powerful chimera in the world: isn't that convenient? Her love story with Jason didn't make any sense to me (same insta-love as ever, and zero chemistry between the two) and he was as uninteresting as Eve. She was as boring as the rest of the book, and while I didn't hate her, I just found her absolutely unremarkable. Most of them were just plain old stereotypes (and the college setting was so annoying and unrealistic), and I didn't like the main character at all. don't even get me started on the characters. The plot was dull and predictable, and the characters. I admit that I had very high expectations, since I watch Jenna's videos on Youtube and I've always found her writing advice very helpful, but this book is just boring.

This is not going to be very long, because I'm not here to rant about all the things that I hated about the book.

Who knows, maybe it was going to get better and I'll never know, but at least I can stop feeling like I want to throw my beloved Kindle against the wall. I couldn't even finish it: I read approximately the first half of it, but it was getting so boring and unnerving that I had to stop.
