What the... I don't get it. It is a standalone, but it doesn't make sense. Such an interesting plot but we just go nowhere. I coulnd't relate to Liv, it is incredible how much she pissed me off. I didn't get attached to any of the characters, I just didn't care. We get so little detailes about them. Even if this is a standalone is could have been bigger so the story could actually make sense. We get plot lines that are never picked up again, they are just there. We focuse on the love interest and we don't get to see how her family would react. I get it they are hunters, but still I don't think they would kill you. We don't care, they can get killed. What do we care? They just don't understand me. Uhg, parents. Maybe I am a familist but still all this get angry on your parents and not liking the fact that they are rich and important, really strucked me as a story with a spoiled brat. She was all about love, screw you parents. Maybe I've missed something, please let me know if I did. This book is not as lush or as beautiful as most of Block's back list. It is deftly woven, albeit from razorwire and fragments of glass.She touches on a lot of archetypes: angry teenaged girl, her interracial relationship with her boyfriend, her gay best friend... not a particularly new story, right down to the family violence.She does catch that coming-of-age wildness, a freedom harder to access as years go by.I miss Weetzie's unflagging optimism, but don't begrudge Block her turn at the Zeitgeist.It's just not Blood And Chocolate.
Do You like book Frenezia (2012)?
I really love reading her books. They always leave me in a long ethereal daydream.

Possibly the worst book I have ever read.
