Book Summary from Goodreads:
I don't do dangerous. Smart, über-careful, ordinary Samantha-that's me. But I just couldn't pass up a surprise kiss from my number-one unattainable crush. A kiss that did something to me...something strange. Now I feel hungry all the time, but not for food. It's like part of me is missing-and I don't know if I can get it back. Then there's Bishop. At first I thought he was just a street kid, but the secrets he's keeping are as intense as his unearthly blue eyes. If he's what I think he is, he may be the only one who can help me. But something terrifying is closing in, and the one chance Bishop and I have to stop it means losing everything I ever wanted and embracing the darkness inside me.... NIGHTWATCHERS When angels and demons must work together, something beyond evil is rising...
My Thoughts:
I was so excited when I saw that a Michelle Rowen book was coming out and had to get it. I loved her young adult series, the Demon Princess, and her other adult fiction series as well. But for some reason, I just could not sit through this novel.
One major reason was the fact that the main character, Samantha, has so much chemistry between two boys, Bishop and Colin, and due to an unexpected supernatural experience, she can no longer kiss anyone. It sucked the chemistry out and was very frustrating that though there were a lot of feelings going on with these three major characters, nothing was really happening.
Another major reason I couldn't complete the novel was the lack of actual information. Though we do get some information from a character named Natalie, the majority of it is just speculation, and a little over 100 pages in, Samantha still has no real clue as to what was going on with her situation.
One last thing that really bothered me was a bit of the randomness. I stopped at the part where her mother suddenly springs in the issue that Samantha is adopted, when Samantha wasn't even really thinking about that aspect of her life yet, and felt like the information was kind of out of the blue. Overall, though the novel had some originality to it, I just constantly kept loosing my focus, and didn't really hold my attention all that well.
Would I recommend this book: Eh
Rating: I give this book a DNF.
