The Vanishing Season by Jodi Lynn Anderson

The Vanishing Season by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Okay, I'll be honest. I didn't love this book. it took me over a month and a half to read it and over half of it was read this past week because I've been forcing myself to read it. This is similar to Tiger Lily and I think I may have gone too far to say that I loved it, but I also feel that was influenced by the fact that I didn't read it on my own time.

This book starts off slow, it's sort of interesting but you're thinking just get to the point. In the middle of the book there isn't much going on, and that is also the point in which I decided to take up The Maze Runner instead. By the end, you are just wanting to know who it is, but it just keeps going on and on. Throughout the whole story, too, you can tell that there is romance, but it isn't a key characteristic that makes me think ship them!

It is extremely well written, and there is a very interesting narrator that shocked me at the end, but I can't say that I loved this book. Overall, I would give this book a B, maybe B+.
