The Impaler by Gregory Funaro
2.0
Good character development of the protagonist only, extremely slow first half with too many details on stuff I didn't care in the least about, but a pretty satisfying end. Meh.
Going Under by S. Walden
3.0
Honestly... not the best.
I read this because of its raving reviews, despite the fact that I knew going into it that it involved teenaged characters. Despite its sensitive subject matter, descriptive sex scenes, and swearing, it reads like a young adult novel. If the characters were a bit older -- say, in college, I would have enjoyed this book a great deal more. The author did a GREAT job of writing about teenagers, unfortunately. It was just a bit too Sweet Valley High for me.
The ending was awful and forced. Ugh. Nuclear orgasm? Are you kidding?
Three stars for keeping my interest, but really, most of that was because of the hype.
