Books like Forsaken

2.5 Rounded UpCharlotte and Dash's story comes to an end. I've had a rollercoaster of liking and disliking this series. I wish more of a plot would have been created rather than just Dash and Charlotte constantly saying how they couldn't be apart. He's jealousy and need to control/keep her safe went overboard. It would have been a lot more sweeter (and better for his character development) if he would have trusted her more, and trusted the people around him.Dash against the world and all that.Now the Forsaken/zombies...I wish more would have been explained. How was the Institute using their blood to make others immortal? Why when Star was made immortal and lost her humanity was Ryker able to "wake her up" with a kiss? Also, once Charlotte woke the Forsaken what happened to them? There are a lot of questions here, but the ending came quick.I also was extremely confused by Ember, Charlotte's Father, and her Mother. Was her Mother evil too? Ember never felt evil and her twist to the dark side seemed a little forced. Her dad honestly never felt like a villain either. We were constantly told how evil they were and what they had done but was never shown. The Institute really just reminded me of Xavier's school from X-men.So even though I pretty much enjoyed the series I was mainly underwhelmed and wish more substance was in the book other than Dash and Charlotte kissing and saying how much they loved and needed each other.Despite all this the author has a clear voice and her books are easy to read. There's one other series by her that I've had my eye on and I do plan on reading it.*~~~~Ages 17+Language: MildSexual Content: Lots of kissing, two sex scenes that are obvious, detailed but not to the extreme
