![]() ![]() It’s like in order for her readers to like her characters Sands thinks they must be toothless, beatific creatures that never feel negative emotions for more than a second or any sense of self-preservation. ![]() No one is that nice and understanding of others all the time. Her characters are just too unrealistic and that’s saying a lot. ![]() I have read other books in this series, gave it a good chance because I wanted to have a new series to sink my teeth into, but this will probably be my last book from Sands. As are the attitudes of the “whoops, glad we didn’t kill you since I’m sure our next neighbors would’ve sucked compared to you” psychopaths next door. She’s far, far too trusting and her naïveté is meant to be charming. Like beyond okay with her neighbors misunderstanding a situation and escalating it to MURDER. ![]() Some of them try to kill Elvi and she’s totally cool with it. All I wanted to do was scream at her, and the townsfolk. I’m suspending my disbelief over VAMPIRES FROM ATLANTIS, but to make the lead female character Elvi such a stone cold idiot is too much. It crosses totally from “oh what a quirky, charming town” to a situation that is so completely absurd and unbelievable that I couldn’t keep myself in the story. Look, I like the vampire characters well enough and the romance is fine, but I can’t deal with the stupid. ![]()
