Review
Day 1: See hot guy on beach. He looks at you.Day 2: Talk to hot guy for 20 minutes.Day 3: Proclaim your undying love for guy and offer up your virginity.Yes, girls, it's that easy to find the man of your dreams, and it only takes that long for said man to fall madly in love with you for the rest of your life.Sure, you don't know everything about each other. Like last names, where they live, who their friends and families are, how they spend their free time, or the fact that one of them is an undead creature of the night. Details. That's all those things are. Details.The important thing is that you find each other hot. Because there is never an instance where you could actually get to know some hot person's personality and find it lacking. Never!! Attractive people are always attractive on the inside. You can take that to the bank! And, go ahead and pledge your eternal life to the hunky guy on the beach after a few days. It's going to work out great!!Do I hate other things about this book? Sure. Lots.One big pet peeve I have is the fact that every character in this series seems to be a racial stereotype. The French guy talks like Pepe LePew, the Italian guy talks like Mario, the black guy talks like the hood and "looks just like Denzel" (I'm guessing this is the only attractive black man the author could think of), the Russian guys have broken accents that make you think of evil movie villains, and the Scottish guys talk like Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons.Ladies, I hear he's available...*wink wink*But, don't worry, there are plenty of other things to hate as well. In this book, there was an opportunity for a pretty cool storyline with the sicko serial killer who was obsessed with the heroine, but it took a backseat. A backseat in a very long bus full of insta-love, sterotypes, TSTL characters, and angst. Oh well. Considering what I've seen so far, the author could never have pulled it off anyway.So, here's a novel idea. I'm actually going to quit reading this series. I know, right? I have a stack of these suckers from the library. But, I think it would be best for my blood pressure and my eyeballs. If I keep rolling those suckers this much, they are bound to fall out.I'm looking for a new series. Any ideas?
