Book 21 of 52

I DID IT!!! I am officially back on track. I just finished the 21st book of my challenge.
The Vampire Kisses series has been a bit disappointing from day one. It is much younger and immature than I normally like to read. I do enjoy young adult fiction but just because it is young adult does not mean it has to be callow and juvenile, especially today. Teenagers are in a whole new class these days and they can handle a lot more than they could in the past. Another thing that bothered me in this series was the stereotypes they used, I like old school thinking when it comes to vampires but the whole goth idea is a bit annoying.

After reading the first four books in this series I was almost ready to give up on it but then book 5 was awesome. I really enjoyed it. And then... book 6 went right back down to the level the first 4 were at and book 7 Love Bites was no exception. It felt very pointless to me. As I got closer to the end I kept thinking "is this going to come to something?" And the end just confirmed my worries that the book was pretty pointless. I have a word for books like this... I call them filler. I use the same word for TV shows also. Every so often it just feels as though an author or TV writer just needs some content to fill in an empty space. That's what this book was. Since these books are short and are easy to read... I will definitely continue reading the series as new books come out, mostly out of curiosity.
