I'm on page 132 of this mess, and there's still no explanation for the world at all. Whitten alludes CONSTANTLY to some traumatic event in the past, but she has yet to tell what it was or explain what is going on in the present, in anything other than badly explained snippets. Incredibly annoyed. May not finish.

Started well, but I am now halfway through and beyond frustrated. Every single character is an idiot except for the bad guys and the half-sister, and I'm sure by the time I'm finished, the bad guys will have been outed as unforgivably stupid, as well.

Should be titled Waiting for Mozart.

Okay, so, I'm not digging this one at all. It's so full of plot inconsistency that it's driving me nuts. Mead really phoned it in with this one. The social aspects of the story alone are enough to make me want to slit my wrists. This book is clearly nothing but filler.

Bitch, PLEASE. You did not love him. You did not want to marry him. You haven't even *liked* him for over 100 pages. Your ambivalent feelings toward him are wishy-washy at best. Do not now pretend that you have ANY idea what your brother is going through, or I will cut your dumb ass. WHY am I still reading this frigging thing???

*blink* I KNOW you did not just refer to slaves as "workers" and make the claim that you treated them well, after saying how idyllic and fun your Southern Belle plantation life was "until the war." I can't fucking even with that racist bullshit.

Pretty sure this is headed straight for the DNF bin.

Does no one understand past perfect verb tense anymore? #seriously

NOR, not "not." GD it, autocorrect.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LEARN TO USE PUNCTUATION CORRECTLY, PM CHRISTOU. A COMMA IS NOT A PERIOD. Not is it a semicolon or a dash. I hate you, your cheesy mashup, AND your complete lack of understanding of the concept of punctuation and grammar.

*sigh* Yet another writer who does not understand the necessity for the past perfect form of the verb.

I did not see that coming.

Page 23, and this is already shaping up to be something I will hate. *sigh*

Not generally a fan of horror in general, and zombies in particular (too gory), but really digging this Sean-of-the-Dead-esquian tale of the zombie apocalypse.

Yeah, 'cause you should definitely NOT enlist the help of the one person you know who knows what's going on and is able to help you. Far better to go it alone and risk your best friend's life instead. It's not like death is permanent or anything. Seriously, what could POSSIBLY go wrong.

Digging it so far. Sort of a mix of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Uglies.

"...pink high heals." If I flag every one of these, it will take FOREVER to finish this damn thing. How do people manage?

*facepalm* SECRET agenda, not second agenda. Jeebus, is there ANY part of English McClellan is competent in?

Verb conjugation. Also your friend.

Jeebus. PUNCTUATION IS YOUR FRIEND. Please, for the love of gods, learn to use it properly.

Most unsexy sex scene ever.

My god, women do a lot of moaning in this book. They moan when they hold their hands out to a fire. They moan over food. They moan over cookies. They moan getting dressed. They moan getting undressed (alone). They moan when someone picks them up. I fear what will happen when actual sex is involved. I doubt a nice, quiet fade to black is in my future. I hope whatever building they do it in is heavily soundproofed.

*eyerolls 5 & 6*

*eyeroll #1* go around tasting ankles all the time, do we?

This was the B&N free book this week. I normally skip romance (unless it look amusing), but this one looks kinda cute/amusing, so I decided to risk it. We'll see.

Chapter 19. All of it. Did I say bitch? I meant another word. One that rhymes with bunt. I hate this woman with every single fiber of my being.
