Collide The Secret Life of Trystan Scott Volume 1 HM Ward 9780615694405 Books

I thought this book was really cute. I would say this is a young adult book. It was a quick read for me but a refreshing story. I thought it was going to be predictable but it turned out not to be. I will look into reading more from the series to see what happens. It made me a little sad where the book ended. I really wanted to know more and find out what happened. I was impressed with the depth of the characters and to find out some back story on their lives. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys young adult type books, a semi twisted fairy tale style read, or someone who just wants a book with some light humor. Mind you this book takes place during high school years.

Collide The Secret Life of Trystan Scott Volume 1 HM Ward 9780615694405 Books Reviews

I am in love with Trystan Scott. What a great, complex character. He reminded me of Jordan Catalano (My So Called Life), except hotter and kinder. The relationship between the hero and heroine was also very well-done. I thought the author did a good job showing how each of them repressed their feelings and had no clue how the other felt. I thought the play within a play element was also well done. Trystan's emo song was incredibly cheesy, but because the story was so well done, I was willing to go along with all the cheesiness. I also like how the author is taking her time to build up the sexual tension instead of having them go at it like rabbits from the beginning. I just finished the second book, and all they've done so far is kiss. Taking things slow like this really builds up the energy, so that when they finally consummate their relationship it is going to be super satisfying -- or so I hope! I really sympathized with Trystan. He is the victim of truly horrible abuse, yet he is too proud to seek help -- frustrating, but also in keeping with his secretly noble character. Also of note is Trystan's best friend/ antagonist. An interesting, unlikeable character. I am trying to puzzle him out. Is he secretly in love with Trystan but unable to deal with it? I hope he doesn't hurt the heroine! And I hope the father gets his comeuppance!
Very glad this isn't my first HM Ward book. I was surprised at the number of typos in this book, that's not something I've experienced from this author but this book is a bit older so perhaps that's why. There also seemed to be problems with the point of view. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but sometimes I wasn't sure if the character was talking about themselves or not. I'm not a huge fan of Young Adult books but made it through this one. The story about Trystan and his singing was the part that kept me interested. Then, a cliffhanger ending. I hate those. I'm not sure if I'll continue with this series or just go back to the other one I'm in the middle of.
ORIGINAL REVIEW 3.5 stars -- Ah cliffhangers...at least the next book is out, otherwise that would have made me round down to 3 stars. I really hate cliffhangers. Just a personal thing. This was a waffle one for me....I really had a hard time b/c I really loved Mari and Trystan...but it felt like not a lot happened and things just went back and forth with no forward progress... In the end I love these 2 enough to get over it, but I'm hoping more happens in the next book.

I guess the other thing that has me waffling over rounding down to 3 stars is the tense issues...I'm not used to 3rd person, and it felt really confusing sometimes. I mean, I can't figure out if it's just b/c I personally don't like it, or if it was genuinely confusing and could have been cleaned up?? Weird...

ON REREAD Still 3.5 stars -- Knowing this is a serial novella series, I was prepared for the cliffy ending. I'm not sure if this one has been updated and stupid just never sent me the updated files, but if it hasn't been updated beware there is a horrific amount of tense changes (past/present). I was more easily able to get through the weird first person for Mari chapters, third person for Trystan chapters. Maybe I'm a different reader than I was back then?

In the end I was sucked in by the mega emotions of both Mari and Trystan, particularly Trystan's love for Mari. It does feel a bit drawn out, but I'm willing to live with it because I liked the meat that we did get...even if I wished there was less bread. You know, just being weird and using a strange metaphor.
