Volume 2 of the Deeper Shade of Bad series brings new challenges to Amelia. Her and Alex's rocky relationship is stressing her out. She makes new friends, faces new dangers, and suffers a tragic loss.
I have been writing since I was eight. I started out with poetry. Eventually, I moved on to short fantasy stories, then eventually books. I have always loved books, whether I was reading them or writing them. Books were always a perfect escape from reality. When I was growing up, I admired authors and I imagined I would eventually be one. The primary genre I write is fantasy romance. I love creating tough heroines and sexy vampires, werewolves, Fae, and every other supernatural creature I can come up with. I also write new adult romance when I am in the right mood. I want my readers to get the same joy from reading my stories that I do when I read some of my favorite authors.
I love the fact that I hoped the "to" and "too" issue would have been taken care of in book 2. I am the eternal optimist after all.
So let's see... Alex and Amelia continue their sick back and forth they call a relationship. We get more glimpses of his totally unstable, borderline committable behaviour, and even more ridiculous excuses for the female gender as Amy seems to be pantie-tied to him. And I am sorry, but he is a MEGA DOUCHE for the Elaine incident. That is some seriously sociopathic behaviour right there.
Once more, I was more than under-impressed. I was let down, trampled upon and spat on - if this is supposed to be literature, then my grandma who never finished elementary school is the comparative equivalent of Umberto Eco. There is no depth, there is no feeling, there is no passion, there is yet again the absolute nothingness of the bland writing of Ms.Price.
But it's not her fault, no sir. It is I who am the moron to keep going with this abominable series.
Just when you think Amelia is done with Alex something else happens and she is calling on him for help. With each scene that these two play out it just keeps getting hotter and hotter.
When you think they are finally working through their problems something else goes wrong and you start asking yourself will these two ever make it?
There are some things that happened in this book that I never saw coming and I can't say anything or I will give secrets away. All I will say is that you really need to read this series and I will be going crazy until the next book. The ending of this book is driving me crazy!!
Could Alex's and Amelia's relationship be anymore messed up? Why yes it could and her name is Elaine. I knew Lana was not right in the head but come on Elaine, really? I hope Mrs. Price kicks her sorry butt right out of the house. Alex is in a whole other trouble.
