Maybe it's because he's suddenly turned into Dimitri Belikov a la Last Sacrifice. Sigh. I can't tell you what I want to say due to spoilers, but it doesn't leave you hanging.

I was not a big fan of Julien at all! I like my strong, alpha males, so I am 100% team Alex. I actually love a good love triangle/romance, but I'm sad to hear that this book leaves you hanging in the end. I want to know that Lena and Alex (or even Lena and Julien if it has to be that way) are together and that they'll be ok :/Sara-You, Me and Anthropologiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078764380537953169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-13654387335051676912013-02-28T22:54:29.349+00:002013-02-28T22:54:29.349+00:00AHH, I love ending that bring on the tears!

I agree that Lena was whiny. LORD. I loved that Lena brought down the wall, and all that stuff (metaphors included). I'm trying not to include spoilers here. GAH. It's hard XD<br /><br />Haha. The TV series.

I wasn't happy with the way this one ended at all because here was no real closure with anything, romance or otherwise. Lena was very whiney but she also got jerked around by Alex big time which I didn't care for. For me, a lot could've been resolved with an epilogue and I've wondered if the original ending wasn't somehow changed to fit the upcoming T.V. series. :(Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085252131882442647noreply@blogger.com
