“I just got
my Coke and cigarettes from 7eleven and I’m now walking my usual route to
work. Yellow lit side walk lined with
trees with occasional falling caterpillars. I hate it when that happens. Even if it doesn’t land on me, it makes me
feel itchy. Today, a cat walked beside
me like it’s strolling to work with me. I suddenly remembered my cat. I had a black cat with a stubbed tail. I
would always creep thru the window while I sleep and sleep on my pillow like
she owns it. I’d feel her pawing me when I invade her space. And when I she thinks I’m just feeling
stubborn, my cat does not have a concept of deep human sleep, she’d scratch me.
I reached the
graveled parking lot found a spot to sit and started smoking my lungs out. Damn, I think me and Graves would get along
with our vices really well.”
If you said
“huh? So where’s the review? Why is she talking about this?” while reading that
part, that’s exactly how I felt in a lot of parts of Betrayals. Dru is very observant and loves reminiscing
in length. It felt like Déjà vu
sometimes coz I swear I just read that in book 1. I wasn’t fond of it. But aside from that, I liked this book.
Although, I admit it was an effective way to make me feel the chaos in Dru’s
head and her fear each time they got attacked by wympires.
I was a bit disappointed that she did not get
stronger. There was still a lot of
shaking, A LOT! She’s so scared most of the time coz she doesn’t know what’s
going on. She expected to be trained but
just got stuck going thru lectures then she meets Anna who tries to make her
doubt Christophe’s loyalty to her. I get
it but I was hoping she’d get pissed with herself for being so scared all the
time and snap out of it. Ok, maybe not
all the time but its either that or it’s like she has a period. I’d be like her too if I were in her shoes
but by this time, I’ll be fighting back. Pretty sure I’d end up dead and end of
series. LOL! I wish she was more like Meghan of Iron Fey. She’s not a fighter, she’s helpless. She has powers but can’t use it. She has
emotions like normal people, she gets frustrated, scared, pissed but she can
convert those into strength or power.
I have a lot
of complaints but I really did like this.
The pace was ok and I’m starting to get used to the flashbacks. Action
was great too. I just wish I’d see more of Christophe. He is one of the reasons I’m going to
continue this series. I want to know what he knows and I’m still waiting to see
what Dru will become. I would also like to know who she’ll end up with. I love Christophe and I like him better than
Graves but I want Dru to end up with Graves. First one’s free.
