Promising but ultimately disappointing
I've loved some of Hugh Howey's other works and I had high hopes for his take on a romantic novel, but sadly this was pretty disappointing. It had promise, with an interesting plot based around a romance taking place in a near future where the sea levels have risen and shells are becoming extinct. Howey writes very well and I can't fault him for that, I just felt he concentrated too much on the predictable romance side than developing the scientific future aspect. The characters too were nothing special, and the whole book just felt very rushed.

The only good one in the series
A good film well done on a big budget. A teen romance film with a Vampire twist. It didn't have as much action as I was expecting but the special effects are pretty good. It has some good scenes underling what a Vampire can do. Unfortunately the rest of the films weren't as good.
I love a good Robin Hood story but this one fell flat. The premise was spectacular and the characters well thought out but there are some things that you just can't do when retelling such a famous story. I am of course speaking of the romance. And I will leave it there as I don't want to ruin it for anyone else.

The suspense and drama of this show will keep you at the edge of your feet wanting more. With death at every turn, mob bosses plotting against them, and a biker club causing trouble it's hard for Archie, Veronica, Betty and Jughead to get through high school like normal teens. And yes there is some romance brewing within the inner circle.

Well since I'm into this series for the romance and not necessarily the characters, though i think some of them are cool, it's certainly been a rollercoaster. But all i can say is yay for several things that happened. Now i just need to read the last one to finish it off and hopefully it will all end how i want it to.

This was a compellingly sweet read with a bit of mystery thrown in. The first pages draw you in and tell you that this won't just be a romance but actually have some content to keep you interested. That to me makes this stand out from other romances.
The characters aren't just one dimensional and they bring a backstory that gives the relationships substance.
Perfect for those who enjoy a mystery romance with substance that isn't just about the sexual attraction and nothing else. For those who don't want a lot of extras it may not be for you.
On a side note the cover to me doesn't do this book justice. To me it looks like an 80s cheap romance cover and takes away from the book, which is actually very good.
