Love at Second Sight
by F.T. Lukens
“You have an amazing gift. You’re destined to be the center of the local paranormal community. You have main character energy. Why would you hide it?”
I was mostly enjoying this, nothing great or anything, until the 55-60% mark when it all went downhill. At least it took me a while to see who was behind the mystery aspect of this, so I guess there’s that.
Cam was a fucking idiot. I can’t even describe how much he annoyed me. Everything had to be about him. I didn’t like Al at the beginning because I thought they were just leaving Cam behind because he was human, but then I was like, nah, Al is right, Cam is super annoying and selfish. I mean, Al wasn’t great either, I don’t consider them a good friend to Cam. lmao just overall not nice people
Gemma and Kaci were nice, no real issue with them. Mateo was just a blank love interest. Absolutely nothing to him.
Every other character was mostly one-dimensional, and I’ve forgotten them already.
This was so young 🫠🫠 I know that’s a me problem but I was cringing a lot with how…cringy… all the high school scenes were and some of the things they said and thought. The way everything was handled, the reveal, it was so young. So stereotypical evil or so easy to follow along with, no thinking required. There was especially no thinking on Cam's part BECAUSE I-D-I-O-T.
If you are a under 14 year old human, you may enjoy this more than I did. So take that into consideration.
If you are 14+, eh, maybe don’t bother 🥲
A big thank you to Simon and Schuster for an eARC and a physical ARC!
