Like the characters suddenly doing a complete 180, like you said, it wouldn't happen. I also detest insta-love!

Everything was ok until I read this part: "When the phantom appears at a party, Kacie's longtime crush, Logan, saves her. He invites her to join the Orion Circle, a group of supernatural hunters with chapters in schools all over the country."<br /><br />I smelled the insta-love, lack of realism and the "I can't do anything without my knight in shining armor" heroine right there, lol.<br /><br />I still don't understand why authors try to make insta love happen. I mean I've encountered more people that are annoyed by insta love rather than love it.<br /><br />You did a great job reviewing the book, by the way. It was straight to the point and honest. Some books are like that, they're not terribly bad but they don't make you feel like reading the next one either.<br /><br />Ava Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068020461818680229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-87633323257668960042014-11-22T14:33:02.974+01:002014-11-22T14:33:02.974+01:00A romantic read can be a good read, but insta love...A romantic read can be a good read, but insta love is not a good thing.

The things that you didn't like about the book; the unbelievable parts, and insta-love sound pretty frustrating though. I don't always hate the <i>insta-love</i>, if it's done well. I'm a cheesy romantic at heart, and I like the idea of <i>love at first sight</i>. Does it exist? Meh. Probably not, but it's a nice thought! <br />Great review Olivia, I definitely added this one to my TBR pile (:<br />Morrighan @ <a href="http://ufbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Elysian Fields</a>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196945104592374912noreply@blogger.com
