The Damned

This book decided me against reading any more by these authors, even though I have the third book waiting. It is all just too painful and, I know this will sound ridiculous, unbelievable (Zoey had only been marked as a vampire fledgling one month earlier!).

I just can't be bothered with the purile writing style, pathetic 'slut/ho/gay' references, allusions to current celebrities, double standards, etc. Eg. 3 boys on the go at once and she can't decide on one but she thinks nearly every other girl with one boyfriend is a slut??? HUH? (To utilise their stupid writing style!!) And the supposedly advanced vocabulary used by Damian? Basic!! I had to keep re-reading the sentences to try and work out what was 'advanced'.

Also, I may be cynical, show more but it seems to me that the authors are planning to churn out book after book (equating to month by month of Zoey's life) rather than give faithful readers a decent story (eg JK Rowlings). At the rate they are going, there are close to 50 books in waiting.

I'm going to see if my nieces are interested in reading these books, otherwise, they are going to the book exchange... show less

I'm putting this one on hiatus. Book 6 is not the place to start with this series. There was way too much back story taken for granted in the first couple of chapters. Even with my well-honed plot-fu, I really did not know what was going on.
