I didn’t like Anna and I didn’t like Kaiden on principle. I felt very uncomfortable reading these scenes, especially when Anna is dancing on top of a bar, trying to please a married man twice her age.

Anna is the daughter of the demon who had to entice humans to drink excessive amounts of alcohol and/or take illegal drugs. It meant that the time periods that were written about seemed rushed, because the relationship between these two characters blossomed (and died) very quickly.Ģ.) Some sort of demon training. Days would pass in paragraphs, and between chapters, months would go by. The pacing was really rubbish throughout this whole book.

I didn’t really understand the mission of the trip (that was never even fulfilled) and how quickly Anna was willing to get close to her father whom she hadn’t seen in sixteen years. Take ‘Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour’ or ‘Paper Towns’ as examples. Usually the rule is if you add a road trip to something, it can only get better. I think I’m going to find it really hard to describe, just because this is a 450-ish page book and I think only two significant things happened:ġ.) A road trip across country with Anna, the protagonist who’s a super religious half-angel, half-demon, and a boy, Kaiden, who’s a demon womaniser. (I wonder why! Heh heh!) I didn’t know if I would like the concept, or the writing style, especially since the slogan was ’embrace the forbidden’. Somehow, the cover just really put me off from reading this book. I’ve had this book on the shelf for ages.
