I don't like my books quite that gritty and dark. Guess that's why I stay in the MG and YA age groups. But I commend you on sticking with it and reading the complete novel. And thanks for the review. It must have been tough.<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-65313475127858747242013-07-14T18:43:14.652-05:002013-07-14T18:43:14.652-05:00I have no problems reading a contemporary about an...I have no problems reading a contemporary about an addict, but I'm less tolerant with other genres. As a personal preference, I also avoid reading stories involving the seedy parts of society. So, I'll probably pass on this one, especially since you only gave it a two. But, it's good that you think the series has potential.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-81027497357446742422013-07-13T20:15:20.220-05:002013-07-13T20:15:20.220-05:00The Downside Ghost books practically take an ax to...The Downside Ghost books practically take an ax to my comfort zone and yet I think they're incredible. Stacia Kane is the only writer I have come across that can make me <i>want</i> to read about an unrepentant drug addict. I admit that the darkness of the world sometimes scares me, but I can't help having hope for Chess. On the other hand, given that darkness, I'd be devastated if she didn't get a happy ending. <br /><br />And I listened to the audiobooks--Bahni Turpin does a fan-bloody-tastic job with the narration.Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-72993669472898129332013-07-13T12:09:55.359-05:002013-07-13T12:09:55.359-05:00With pimps and prostitutes and drug addicts, I'...With pimps and prostitutes and drug addicts, I'd probably find it quite difficult to enjoy this book, simply because it's just not my sort of thing. I do have a copy though, so I guess I am curious, but I don't have any immediate plans to start it.

And certainly not for everyone. I fell madly in love with Terrible from the beginning, he's magnetic for sure, but I did struggle with Chess. Her drug addiction is hard to get past, and I agree the local dialect takes some getting used to! I hope you do try the second book and maybe the 3rd, I found myself settling in easier and quicker after book one.

I had no idea it was so dark though; I don't mind a little, but I like to have some humor and light moments to cut it with. Hmmm, maybe this will stay on TBR for a while longer...Berlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651998289718166892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-28908129609354613052013-07-11T13:08:41.888-05:002013-07-11T13:08:41.888-05:00I have wanted to try this too but now I am a bit h...I have wanted to try this too but now I am a bit hesitant. I can only do so much dark, you know.... I think that this would still be one I should check out, but I will do so with caution!
