If it wasn't free, I'd try to get a refund
Horrible, clunky writing with stilted dialogue. I'm not sure if it's due to the book being a translation, but surely two translators could craft something better? Usually I love young adult fantasy books, especially with romance, but this one had me rolling my eyes and hating my reading experience. The premise is somewhat interesting, but the characters are two-dimensional and lots of things happen with no resolution (she really should have called the police on Felix, wtf). Evelyn cries all the time, Jared has blue eyes (like, omg), and all their families died. All these details are gone into ad nauseum with a lack of focus on good storytelling.
I selected this book as my choice for Kindle First this month and do not plan on reading any subsequent books in this series.
