My thoughts on Nightshade

I usually give a star rating to the books I read but I have VERY mixed feelings about these books.I didn't hate them and I didn't like them either.These books cannot be tagged as 2stars/3stars etc. These are NOT negative reviews(My negative reviews are brutal!).These are my thoughts.....


Lets start with

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer 

Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers.

But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything— including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

Cover :The reason I picked up this book is because of the eye catching cover.I'm not saying I love it but it's different.

MY THOUGHTS:

What I liked:Calla was a very strong protagonist.I really liked her.The story is interesting and you can't deny the fact that you are hooked,if you finished it off in a day(I did!).
I am definitely looking forward to the sequel Wolfsbane.

Oh I forgot to mention ,I really liked Ren!

What I didn't like:Calla's hormonal problem.One moment she's kissing one guy and in the next ,kissing another!I also found the pace of the novel to be pretty slow in the beginning.

What really bothered me about this novel is the fact that I couldn't connect with any of the characters.I liked Calla but sometimes I really wanted to hit her and tell her to stand up against Ren.
