I'm a book hoarder.
When I read The Opportunist I thought it was just ok but I was definitely not thrilled with it. I originally only gave it 3 stars but at the time I didn't realize there were going to be more books. I didn't like that it didn't feel complete. After reading the whole trilogy I can say that I loved the series and I highly recommend. It doesn't follow any of the normal formulas and kept me guessing. Super Creep I'm wondering if you read the next two books if you'd change your mind like I did about the series? Demaris, I didn't realize you hadn't read this yet... You REALLY should. I think you would appreciate it because it is a hefty dose of angst! (definitely one of the most angsty books I've ever read, just right behind Dusty on the angstmeter) I read so many books and then after a month I can't remember anything about them but this is one of those that I just can't ever forget. I still remember the crazy emotions it made me feel like i just read it yesterday. If any of you decide to read it, try not to read many of the reviews because you don't want to spoil the plot.

I have all three on my nook, I have yet to read them i also have the maze runner series and divergent series that I have yet to even crack open. I'm a book hoarder.
I keep meaning to read this trilogy as they got rec'd to me by Alessandra Torre when she emailed me once (yes, I did just name drop ). If they're as angsty as you say hun, I might start them this w/end as I'm dying to read some decent angst.
Loopy, loooove the new siggy...our boy has been working out...damn!! I'm counting an 8 pack.The backwards hat is not for everyone, obviously. Rob is rockin' that shite, marky mark, not so much.Truthfully, I'm thinking Rob turned the hat so we could have a better view of the challenge.The boy looks hot....that white tee leaves very little to the imagination.I'm gonna give that Tarryn Fisher book a whirl...didn't she do Mud Vein?..good one

Those were only spoilers if you didn't know The Opportunist is part of a series and didn't bother to read the summaries of the next two books!! I wasn't trying to ruin anything It didn't seem really angsty to me though? I'm having to scroll through so many "WOW THIS BOOK IS SO AMAZING!!" reviews to see if I'm one of the few that just didn't like it. I'm so annoyed with the narrator that I can't even be bothered to focus on the writing, because the girl was such a moron. I've never felt so emotionally detached from something where I just don't like any of the characters. I just kept reading to see what all the hype was about, and it fell flat. There are some stories where characters are written as helpless heroines that are too stupid to live and constantly seeking out ways to be saved, this wasn't it. All of the drama in this was due to her cliched daddy issues that were never really explained other than an excuse for the narrator to have a "valid" excuse for being so cold. But I skipped ahead to the third book, Thief, and am finding answers to questions I had in The Opportunist. I don't really care about Caleb, but I'm grateful that there's enough back story in this to where I don't have to read the second novel. I know a lot of reviewers loved it, because Leah is a true villain, but I just have no desire to read her drama either. Now for spoilers:Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.This review was pretty spot on with my feelings on The Opportunist You are not allowed to view links.

PS I finished the third book, Thief earlier this evening. It didn't enrage me as much as the Opportunist, but I still felt like the characters were big idiots. Now I just finished Stranger by Megan Hart, which I really enjoyed. Now I can go to bed! I've read 4.5 books today! On the Island and Uncharted by Tracey Garvis Graves, The Opportunist and Thief by Tarryn Fisher.
I was not unable to see the video of Jackson. Sad the link wouldn't work.
After reading this post again I realized that I should probably officially come out of the closet. I am an angst-hoor! Oh wait, I think you guys said this about me before but I was in denial. I guess the fact is, if the book is good enough I don't even have to have an HEA like I once thought I did. Yes, angsty! You should definitely read them this weekend! This story has one of the best "love to hate" characters in any book I've ever read.Oh and Loopy I love that you added the backwardshatrob to your sig!

It's smooth lazy drawl cons you....I must say that the Brit. Accent does it for me.
Hey guys,Add me up on good reads. Since I've barely been reading fics.You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginWhere is the kiss heart bowing emoji?
I really wish I could give you one. I just keep rereading WWF/WWS, V&V/LRM, and Help Wanted. The last good one I read was by Edwards Eternal. My Heart, My Home. You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginI read others, but nothing I would rec here. I will put up with not so great writing/story to get my fix. Have you read Love and a Big Green Bag? It says humor, but it is kind of angsty to me. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login It was different but good.
AT LAST!!!! It took you long enough to come out hun. How could I not have backwardshatrob as one of my new sigs.
Am I the only one that think that Edwards Eternal style has changed? It seems like a different person writing it.
New Moon is on E4.....Christ! SAF really is as awful as I remember......She can't even act a convincing nightmare for F*ck sake!
