Yep, Zoey gets worse in this one. If she irritated you in Marked, she’ll still irritate you in this one. However, you get to see more of Aphrodite, whom I love. Zoey gets caught in a love rectangle of her own making between Erik, Heath, and Loren Blake. Her indecision kills me and I just wanna scream “JUST PICK ONE”. Of course she has every intention of keeping Heath out of the picture, but that doesn’t mean it goes how she wants it too. I honestly think she should just give up on that notion, but she persists. Expect more suspense and plot twists that may shock you.

So, I’m a pretty crappy review writer, but I’m trying to write more of them, so here it goes. I really enjoyed this book. It’s a modern twist on a classic tale, written in first person with perfect moments of humor and seriousness. Prety easy read, simple story with perfect fairy tale ending. Though I will admit, it ended a little too well and played off that whole last minute rescue thing, it was still highly enjoyable.

Liked: The chatroom sessions sparesly spread through the story, the fact that the heorine isn’t a stunning beauty
Disliked: the almost too perfect ending
