really liked it
bookshelves: done

Love the characters especially Connor.
He is quite different from the others (from the first 4 books of sweet) , he had different taste for S**.
which is somehow good.
Aside from that, I somehow love how the story runs from the start up to the half especially when
Lyric is bitching him out. Together with Connor's friends and family. They totally rock.
They really love to see Connor falls utterly inlove with Lyric.
What I don't like the book is the part where the progress of their love story is to..
to hard to read? well, it is obvious for Connor's part that he really does care for Lyric.
It's quite confusing on lyric's part. I don't know if she really did have strong feelings of love towards Connor or it is just the attraction itself. It only made sense to me when Connor told Lyric so.

He was like “Talk to me,” he pleaded. “I’m begging you not to walk away from this. I think you feel something for me too. Am I wrong? Did I get you all wrong?”

I was like "oh~ so she really does have feelings for him."

That was nice of Connor. But I admitted that Lyric's past was really a torture.
Like on the part where she visited her mother.
“I’m making you a promise, Mama. As soon as I settle somewhere and have a home, I’ll make sure you’re moved. There’s nothing for you and me here. You should be somewhere happier. I’ll make sure you have a respectable headstone that celebrates the mother you were and that you died trying to protect me from a monster.”
Tears slid down her cheeks and made a pattern in the dust surrounding the grave. Her sobs caught painfully in her chest and her throat swelled with unbearable grief.
“I’ll bring you flowers. Violets and maybe some purple irises. I know it’s been a long time since we spoke. I spent so many years angry at you for leaving me. I was wrong. So terribly wrong. I wanted you to know that I did it. I became a singer. Just like you always wanted. I got to choose my new name when everything changed after the trial. I chose Lyric for you. As a promise that I’d fulfill your dream for me. I hope you’re proud of me. I haven’t done a lot to make you proud but I’m going to change that. You deserve more from the daughter you died protecting.”


I cried on that part. Family issues always makes me cry.

The good thing she has Connor and very lovely and Bad Influence friends :P
