Nora, college girl with a few self esteem issues, goes to party and meets sexy guy. Something seems a bit off, but because he is soooooo hot, she forgets the "off" thing and leaves with him.

Cue second super sexy guy who is interested, and we have our love triangle

I could not really connect with Nora, and I am not quite sure why this is the case. Maybe if we had a bit more background on her, some of her actions might have made a bit more sense? And she felt a bit slutty to me, the way she flipped from Alec's bed to Caleb's without much thought.

And for a while it was hard to figure out the vibe between the two guys, Alec and Caleb - though this was dealt with later in the book.

I did enjoy the Cain and Abel/sins of the father mythology that Alec and Caleb were playing out through eternity.

I did feel that the ending was rushed. I am still left scratching my head as to what happened at the end, however as this is book #1 in the Eden Falls series, maybe these things will be sorted out later.

I didn't love, but didn't hate Bitter Fruits, I was just left wanting.

But this could just be me, a lot of people absolutely loved it.
