I've been looking forward to reading this book, and when I finall got it, I started right away. But, as I got further into it, I wasn't as entralled in it as I thought I would be. Don't get me wrong, I know that some poeple really liked it a lot, and I did enjoy it, just not that much.




One reason I couldn't really get that into it was because of the main charachter, Aura. She bothered me way too much during the book. There wasn't anything really wrong with her, it was just that I couldn't relate to her at all.


Also, there were a few plot holes in this. I mean, it could just e me, but they really bothered me. And who knows if they will be answered in the next book.


It was a very original plot, and I did really enjoy parts of it. but other times, I just wasn't that into it. But don't let my review turn you off of it. I've heard some great reviews about it so I'd deffinatly check it out

Bleeding Violet

Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves

rating 8/10

Love can be a dangerous thing....

Hanna simply wants to be loved. With a head plagued by hallucinations, a medicine cabinet full of pills, and a closet stuffed with frilly, violet dresses, Hanna's tired of being the outcast, the weird girl, the freak. So she runs away to Portero, Texas in search of a new home.

But Portero is a stranger town than Hanna expects. As she tries to make a place for herself, she discovers dark secrets that would terrify any normal soul. Good thing for Hanna, she's far from normal. As this crazy girl meets an even crazier town, only two things are certain: Anything can happen and no one is safe.

I think one word sums up this whole book:

crazy

No, no. Scratch that:

Insane

Dia Reeves created a beautiful world of just that: craziness.

The book was so friggin weird I can't even tell you if I really liked it or not. At times I was so into it and loved it and other I was like: WTF was that?

But, if I did have to decide, I think overall I did like it. It was so addicting! I couldn't put it down, and I had to know everything; How would everything turn out, what was going to happen, so on and so forth.

I loved the writing in this, and the way this whole new world was created was amazing. How anyone could come up with something like this is beyond me, and I certainly look forward to reading more of Reeve's books and seeing what else she can come of with
