Teardrop

Teardrop
by Lauren Kate
Rating: 4 Bows!

Never, ever cry...

Seventeen-year-old Eureka won't let anyone close enough to feel her pain. After her mother was killed in a freak accident, the things she used to love hold no meaning. She wants to escape, but one thing holds her back: Ander, the boy who is everywhere she goes, whose turquoise eyes are like the ocean.

And then Eureka uncovers an ancient tale of romance and heartbreak, about a girl who cried an entire continent into the sea. Suddenly her mother's death and Ander's appearance seem connected, and her life takes on dark undercurrents that don't make sense.

Can everything you love be washed away?

So I want to start off with saying that before I pick up a book, I usually look at reviews to see what everyone else is thinks about it. When I looked Teardrop up, there was so many negative reviews about it that I was scared...mostly because I had already purchased the book.

I have to say, all the reviews are so critical that it is absurd to me. You can't compare a completely different series with a previous series from the author. 

Now, there are some scenes of hard passion for example: "he grabs me and pulls me towards him with such force and kisses me" (this doesn't happen, I'm just using this as an example) some people are so over critical and complain that "Girls shouldn't be treated that way, I wouldn't like that" It is a story folks! It's not real...and some people like to have passion in their love life..jeez! 

Now for the actual review, Teardrop was a pretty cool concept. Atlantis? We haven't really had much books on this topic, so I thank Lauren Kate for that because we are slowly departing from the whole vampire/werewolf/angel topics. 

The story does take a little while to pick up but that's understandable considering she has to give us all the details and background information. Eureka, yes I will agree with everyone that that name is not a very nice one, was a strong female character, but she was very naive. I'm hoping to watch her grow through out the series. Ander, was a gentleman. I loved the way he dressed and how protective he was of Eureka. Im at the first stages of falling in love with him! Brooks...I'm still confused about what you are. But I didn't like his dramatic change that happened over night. He was sweet and caring and then BAM a total ass! Not quite sure what to make of him yet. 

I'm looking forward to see where Lauren Kate takes this new series, hopefully it's just as good as Fallen but with a better ending!!!!
