Ellie's thoughts:

I can’t believe I am doing this but I am DNFing Archangel’s Storm. Like so many others I love this series and was highly anticipating Jason’s book but I found it so boring. I had to force myself to read the first 100 pages and I found myself thinking about anything but what was going on. Jason and Mahiya had no chemistry at all and I kept waiting for a spark or something and it never happened. I am so nervous that I will be lost in the next books in the series but I just couldn’t finish this book it was that bad and it breaks my heart to say that. I really hope it was just Jason and Mahiya that I couldn’t get behind and I hoping that the series will stay great.

Ellie's thoughts:

That Thing Called Love is not a horrible book but I had a huge issue with the male character that I just could not get over. Jake had a child during his senior year of high school and he sucked it up, married the girl and gave up his scholarship to college. His wife unexpectedly died and her parents offered to raise his child, Austin, while Jake went to college. Austin is now thirteen years old and both of his grandparents have died when Jake decides he wants to be a father. I really disliked Jake and he ruined the story for me. He complained over and over again that the child he abandoned for thirteen years doesn’t want anything to do with him and just expects to show up and everything be okay.

After over a hundred pages I felt that the book just kept going around in the same circle and nothing was happening. My dislike of Jake tained the entire book and I didn’t want him to have his happily ever after at the end. I wish I could have gotten over my feelings about his treatment of Austin but I just couldn’t and it ruined the book for me.
