*shakes head* there's $30 I'll never get back. Honestly? Don't buy it. Do yourself a hugeee favor...
And here I thought this was supposed to be the book about Rachel "growing up and making smart decisions". I had high hopes like you did, especially after reading the first seven chapters online, but Cock Block really does just pull the same shit again.
Some interesting things happen as far as magic is concerned, and Ivy was her usual sexy, bad-ass self in the very few scenes where she's mentioned (maybe it's just me but it seems like this book had the least amount of Ivy-scenes since the beginning of the series, which is probably reason enough not to read it.)... but you pretty much hit the nail on the head in your last hollows post: TOO. MUCH. PIERCE.
I'm sorry. I'm not trying to scare anyone away from the series or anything. I really, really wished the new book would give us all something to work with, maybe even nice little scenes to write new fanfiction material with, but no. This is me retreating back into the place in my head where Rachel isn't (too much of) a dumbass and has an established relationship with Ivy. What new book? Who is this Pierce character you speak of? Lalalalala...
