Oh JR Ward, you are so cracktastic, sucking me into a book I can see plot moves of a mile off, characters that are little more than cyphers, cliches scattered with abandon, but I can't put you down! Why is this???
Jim Heron has an accident, dies and is sent back to save the world by saving the souls of seven people. I mean, come on, God is bored and picks on Seven people and uses one to save them, to decide whether or not the human race is worth saving or should it all be wiped out and start again. Yeah, plot holes abound. But I liked the characters and was rooting for them to succeed.
Scratch the surface of this book and really it's full of plot holes and part of the premise is a bit twisted but this story of an assassin redeeming himself by saving seven souls is actually quite engaging.
I read it almost in one sitting, regretting putting it down, I liked the characters and just wanted more. I liked how they developed over the course of the story and came out of the other side of it better people and I do want to know what happens next!
Engaging but light. By no manner or means is this high literature, this is a light fun read and I did enjoy it, but it's a bit like cheap chocolate, there's a strange taste left afterwards and you feel somehow uneasy afterwards.
