Synopsis:
Isis’ goals for the future included things like attending and graduating college. However, becoming a monster wasn’t part of the plan. Isis and her boyfriend, David, are on the brink of a horrible transformation and they are eager to stop it. Together, they set out on a quest to Greece to find Isis’ biological father—the only person that may be able to help them. Their journey comes to an abrupt stop before it even begins when Isis falls ill, and Eros, David’s best friend, arrives in Athens, unannounced and curious…with a plan of his own. The hunt for her father leads Isis on the turbulent path of deceit, death, and demons as she anticipates the dawning of the beast that stirs inside her.
My Review:
Fruit of Misfortune by Nely Cab
My rating: 3 of 5 stars Fruits of Misfortune is the second book in the Creatura series and I can safely say that I liked this book better than the first. This is why I give "Fruits of Misfortune" 3 1/2 stars/platypires. I thought it had more action and it was more entertaining. I did have a few issues. There were times that Isis acted very immature. I understand this is a YA book and the characters are young. They are learning but it just didn't seem that Isis was grasping what was going on. For example, she kept asking to talk and explain her issues to the council. She was repeatedly told that she, David and their families would be killed. Yet, she kept asking. wtf?!?!? She 18 not 8. She should have got that the first time. Also I wasn't a fan of the "love triangle" in this story. I'm not anti love triangle but the other guy just wasn't swoon worthy. He was really annoying. Anyways, I did like the story. Those were just slight issues that I had. I would recommend this for those looking for a YA paranormal romance to read. View all my reviews |
