The First Taste by Crystal Kaswell

2.0

I don't like giving negative reviews when I think it was my fault for not liking the book, but I'll state my reasons and hopefully someone with the similar taste can find helpful.

There is a LOT of angst in this story, so much so that I wasn't prepared for it. I'm not much of fan of angst stories, specially with teenagers (the h is 18). The H is a bad boy, kind of a manwhore, like to fool around and treat women badly. But he feels different about the h, he wants to protect her from guys like him and are overly possessive *sighs* See, there is nothing wrong with it, but it's not my jam, I really dislike this cliché that so many people love. I can't suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy the story.

Another thing that guted me was the whole mystery surrounding the h. It was a issue that I could relate, but the hype around it was so high that when was revealed, was anti-climatic.

The narration was top notch. I really love their narration, specially because it's a duet (He does all male voices and She does all female voices).
