Ravenous


I don't know what to really say about this book. Honestly, I don't know what to say. I didn't really enjoy it. It's pegged as sci-fi, but the aliens are mostly just alluded to.

I guess it's supposed to be about this group of teenagers trying to survive this alien invasion that has resulted in most of the world frozen and then sucked dry. But really, that seems to be more of a subplot. The main plot seems to be more of a love triangle thing and a Bethany trying to figure out who she wants to be. It's disjointed.

The premise of the book that is presented on Goodreads made it seem like it would be this exciting adventure of this group of teens trying to survive, but it did not live up to that.

Hell, Bethany was making out with Cade (her not boyfriend in this love triangle thing) by the fifth chapter. And they were not long chapters. It was just a disappointing read.

The end gave me some hope, so I'll probably give the second book a try, but my expectations will definitely be lower for that one.
