Fire bad, tree pretty!
40 Souls to Keep - Libby Drew This book wasn’t much, I cant say I hated it because the story never had me emotionally involved. I am even having a hard time writing this review because I just found the book so meh, its hard to come with a conversation topic. So this review is going to be short, and not so sweet.The plot started off interesting, but then we had a time skip I am not overly fond of time skips, but I kept reading anyway cause well this is a NetGalley book. So I pushed forward.Now about the romance...Yeah, I didn’t feel the love tonight.You see Jace has this Dune voice going for him, he can make people do things...like buy him stuff. He does this a lot, with very little remorse. Yeah I didn’t like Jase that much.The voice is supposed to help him in his, yeah I am going to do it, Mission From God. sighYou see Lucas is immune to the voodoo that you do, that doesn’t mean instant sexcapades. No that just means Lucas didn’t trust him at first, and yet they run off together.This is where Jase shows off his cool Jedi mind trick on a poor peon at Burger King, which probably will get him fired, and yet Jase doesn’t care.Yeah fuck him.So why the fuck does Lucas still trust this asshat? You have to trust to love, so I just don't see it.So after figuring out the bad guy in the beginning, he sticks out like a sore thumb, and the lack of chemistry I just didn’t give a flying fuck anymore. I got this book off NetGally, and special thanks to Carina Press.
