Existance Trilogy books 2 and 3

Existence (Volume 1)  So, I am going to take two books and put them into one post because.. well it's my post so I can! :p Also,I read the books back to back, so I would probably mix them up a little. I liked the books, they were easy reads and the characters were fun and easy to like! ... but and yes there is a but coming. There were a few things I really didnt like. I will explain those in a little bit, first let me tell you what the books are about.

Book Two Predestined and what its about:

Predestined (Existence) (Volume 2)  You would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder.
  The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited.
  Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake. Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.


Book Three Ceaseless and what its about:

Ceaseless   Can he make her fall in love with him… again? When Pagan Moore proved worthy of Death’s devotion, he was given the gift of getting to keep her.  But Dank was never promised that Pagan would keep him. When a soul is created, so is its mate. In every lifetime those souls find each other. They complete the other’s destiny. It’s time for Pagan’s soul to choose if she truly wants an eternity at Death’s side or if she wants the mate created just for her. Dank didn’t think he had to worry about her choice. He knew where her heart belonged. Until he realized that every kiss, every touch, every moment of their time together would be washed from her memories. He would have to win her heart all over again and prove to her soul that he was where she belonged. If only her soul’s mate wasn’t right there standing in his way.


So here's what I thought..

  They were good reads. It's so nice when you find easy reads where you love the characters. That's all great but, here's where I had a problem. Abbi Glines would have the perfect build up for something amazing and then all of a sudden it was over. There were no big fights, no edge of your seat pages turners, just "oh my gosh this is going to be horribly awesome" and then oh hey it's done. All that build up for the villains or the drama to just go away at the drop of a hat.
The love triangles that these books create are amazing! But again, you expect some kind of big blow out and it just.. resolves itself effortlessly. You're stuck hoping for something good for the other person and they just move on with their life as if they were never bothered.
I just wish it had more blow outs I guess. I like the drama and I wished these books had more.

Well, that's all for now.
