This is definitely a suspense novel and it totally delivers on that front. I actually don't gravitate toward this genre (but I am more and more as of late.) For the most part I'm pretty bad at reading them cause I just can't take it! I'll flip to the end and see the outcome like a naughty reader, but I forced myself not to do it this time. I'm glad I did because it would have ruined the story.Camelia is a normal girl for the most part, but an event happens that changes everything. A guy namedGood concept, awful writing style. First of all, the one liners are awful. The first 50 pages were like a stupid disney sitcom and I was cringing the whole time. Next, there's the fact that this whole thing is a wannabe Twilight. The guy is like a sad, annoying version of Edward and the girl is just dumb. Then theres the instalove ohmygodddd. He walks in the room and I know I'm in love with him. Literally they're in love within two seconds and she acts as if its the biggest deal in the world
(This review does have some unmarked spoilers, but these are about general events and do no concern the conclusion of the mystery)First the heroine was in a near fatal car crash, saved only by a mysterious gorgeous stranger who quickly vanished. Then, said brooding stranger became her reluctant lab partner, who refused to speak to her. Then there were long conversations about how the young couples extraordinary chemistry might cause the 'hero' to lose control, resulting in her tragic death.Wow.
2.5/5 stars.When I read about this book I thought it genuinely sounded unique and interesting. I do still feel it was a unique story, but I still felt a bit disappointed by it. The story didn't have much going on at all. What was there flowed quickly and the whole book was read in a few hours so that was one good thing.Camelia meets Ben when he saves her life. This part and the whole scene as partners at school felt a bit too Twilightish...There were quite a few similarities in the plot as well
2.5 stars... I felt rather irritated with the main character throughout this book. The beginning starts in a Twilightesque scenario where she is saved from being hit by a car when the "new guy" in school pushes her out of the way. As she is lying there, he touches her stomach for some strange reason, and what with the weird moment of touching and his saving her life, she is drawn to him despite the rumors floating around school that he killed his girlfriend. At the same time, Camelia begins to
Dnf it. I am sure this is snark worthy but someone else can do it. Unless someone bribes me with chocolate. LolEdit: Sony bribed me with chocolate, so here I go again. LolEdit: review to come.Edit: Disclaimer: Snark and gifsThe fact that the beginning of this book was literally like Twilight made me rage.The one positive thing I can say is that the stalking was not romanticized.If someone is stalking you: Please. Call. The. Fucking. Cops.The characters were two dimensional and lacking substance.
The Deadly Little Series is a string of novels following the life of sixteen-year old Camelia who falls in love with the mysterious Ben, despite rumors of him being responsible for his girlfriend's death. As the story advances, Camelia learns the reason for his strange behavior, and what really happened that fateful day at the cliff. Ben is gifted with a supernatural power, psychometry, the power to 'see' things through touch or interaction with a person or object. When Camelia is targeted by a
