From th...oh no! A shake head romance... no bueno. <br /><br />From the way you've described this book, it reminds me a lot of Drought, which I was also really disappointed with because the explanation of why one girl would have such an extraordinary ability was weak and weird. And the romance was much the same too, an insta-love that was rather emotionless. So yeah, I'm gonna have to skip out on this one and maybe just try The Body Finder instead. :)Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-58087596939799450932011-11-08T00:56:38.837-05:002011-11-08T00:56:38.837-05:00I love this cover.

I had such high hopes for this based on the fabulous romance between Violet and Jay, I figured we'd at least have something similarly well-done in this one. I'm still going to be picking this one up, but it's good to know some of the things that bothered you ahead of time, thanks Zahida!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-4884500617792806382011-11-06T21:13:04.762-05:002011-11-06T21:13:04.762-05:00I felt a bit guilty of letting this one expire fro...I felt a bit guilty of letting this one expire from the galley grab, but the more reviews I've been reading about it I'm getting less and less excited for it. I think I'll wait for it.

Well, not really, but I had just decided the other day that I was going to let this one expire un-read because I don't have enough time to read it now and I'm not <i>dying</i> to read it anyway. You just made me feel a lot better about that decision. Except, it's sad the book wasn't very good :( Poor explanations for "scientific" things bothers me a lot and I'm no fan of insta love.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-84469274570413577092011-11-06T18:30:57.481-05:002011-11-06T18:30:57.481-05:00Oh no!

I've been reading more mixed reviews lately for The Pledge but I'd been hoping you would like it more. *sad face* I'll be reading The Pedge, but I'm lessening my expectations in case the book doesn't live up to my expectations...

I hate to think that Derting's writing has turned from awesome (The Body Finder) to good (Desires of the Dead) to meh (The Pledge). I hope she gets back to awesome again.Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-49164130201282947532011-11-06T00:32:20.336-04:002011-11-06T00:32:20.336-04:00OH wow I have a really similar review - opinion wi...OH wow I have a really similar review - opinion wise. I'll be posting it next week - though it's on my Goodreads. But I agree with it all. The characters really fell flat for me. Gah.
