Where to Begin.... I was deeply disappointed by this book. I feel like Melissa De La Cruz might be losing her touch with this series which saddens me because it's my favorite book series to date. This book (which isn't really a book) is just a collection of three short stories. All the short stories felt extremely rush and forced.
The first story follows Oliver and his life after Schuyler leaves. This felt out of character for Oliver, to me. I found myself actually laughing at how ridiculous the story line was until I saw the last page of the story and then it made sense. I suppose it was a very good idea but it would have been better if it were longer. This is the type if storyline that should be in the book itself, not written as a short story.
The second story is about how Allegra falls in love with a red blood. This was my favorite story of the three and it felt the most natural. It was nice to see into Allegra's past. We hear lots of odd and ends about it in the series but never actually venture into how and why it happened. This short story does which was actually very refreshing.
The third is Jack and Schuyler's bonding. I used to be a very big Jack and Schuyler shipper but they've just gotten... bland. I feel like they are one person now. This story line felt the most rushed of all. It would have been better as a story line in an actual book. It reminded me of watching a movie on fast forward. You see the overall picture but you miss all the detail.
There were also a few drawings in the book of Jack and Schuyler and I felt like they were just there to take up space on the page. I would rather wait longer for an actual good book that contributes to the series than Melissa pumping out these mediocre (and pricey) companion books to make the wait seem lesser.
