Air Bound
I received a print copy from Berkley in exchange for an honest review. I gave this book four stars because its written really well, and the graphic detail is so stomach turning that you have to respect that after so many books that she would have to amp it up to keep readers interested. It takes a lot of talent to be able to make readers squirm these days. However I expected to find that kind of dark gritty stuff in the GAME series not this one. Regardless Christine has written a fantastic book. Unfortunately there was so much about it I honestly didn't like. It took me several tries just to finish it which is more strange for me because I usually can't put her books down once I've started them. I really love the intensity of Christine's work and I really love that its not all just fluff and butter romance anymore. There is something real and vital to cling to. I just really wish I had gotten more of that intensity from her characters. Everything else was up to the max but what was going on with our characters? Both Airiana and Maxim felt as if they didn't even belong in the same story together much less in this story. I didn't care for either one of them or their personalities. I still respect the work Christine is doing and I will continue to read more of her work in the future but I was left feeling a bit out of sorts after reading this one.
