ArecRain (8 KP) rated Moonlight (Dark Guardian, #1) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
What I did enjoy about this novel was the style. I actually enjoyed Hawthorne's style compared to many young adult writers. Her dialogues were realistic even if her character were so stereotypical for a young adult novel.
What really irritated was having to continuously read about Kayla's parents dying. I understand that it was a huge part of the plot, but it only needs to brought up so many times when it isn't moving the plot forward. It comes to a point when you need to stop kicking the dead horse.
Another point that irritated me was how out of no where, suddenly Kayla and Lucas were so in love with each other. I can understand that Kayla was attracted to him, but to bring in the whole one true love thing was a bit much. I actually liked the concept that the Shifters found their mates young in life. I felt that it may give some young readers delusions about relationships.
I also felt like Hawthorne rushed so many things, such as Kayla becoming a Dark Guardian. I felt like Hawthorne could have fleshed the end out much more. Despite this, I still want to read the second one just to see what happens with the rest of the pack.

Not suitable for younger viewers due to some scenes dealing with suicide, death, and other adult themes.
Becs (244 KP) rated Romeo and Juliet in Books
Jan 2, 2020
The typical love story with family drama and tension but with a twisted ending. William Shakespeare is an excellent writer. As a teenager, Romeo and Juliet was quite difficult to read. But rereading it as an adult, I understood every little sneer and joke that was in each conversation.
