Chase the Dark

4.5
Wow. This book was a brilliant way to end my year.
The only complaint I have is how dumb Piper was. She just seemed kind of slow at times. She doesn't think before acting sometimes, which grated my nerves.
However, that doesn't mean I completely despise Piper. After all, she's kind of a bad-ass. Those fight scenes...wow. Go girl powerPiper. With the odds stacked against her, she still emerged victorious.

And then there was the discreet love triangle.

Usually, love triangles just agitate me. And I know, I know. Lots of people hate love triangles, as evident from the burning hatred portrayed in people's reviews. I'm sorry if this aggravates someone, but I found the subtle love triangle pretty adorable. Or maybe the correct word is hot...hmmmm. Anyways, this book definitely contained my desired quota of drama.
The action? Everywhere. It kept my right on the edge of my seat for the whole half day I was awake. A half day was also how long it took for me to finish this book. Yeah, it was that good. Ash and Lyre are the epitome of mouth-watering amazingness all rolled up into hot messes of personalities. They make me want to fangirl and fawn over every one of their adorable reactions, every strange comment, and every noted look.
I'll cut myself short and get right to my thoughts about...the ending. That ending was...it...why...WHY ANNETTE MARIE?

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR READERS? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. Ok, maybe I do understand (to get readers to get the next book). BUT STILL. WHY???? WHYYYYYYYYYYY COULDN'T YOU JUST LEAVE IT AT A HAPPY ENDING. NONONONONO I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO LOGIC AND REASON THAT THE ENDING WOULD MOST LIKELY BE THE MAIN CONFLICT OF THE NEXT BOOK. NO. Just no.
