This was the most YA teen romance-fantasy novel I've ever read. Ander's been in love with Eureka since they were born? CREEPY STALKER ALERT! Eureka showed no character growth, she's a terrible friend, and always plays the victim! Their relationship was so cringey and awkward, the first scene had me gagging. The writing was terrible with so many unneeded similes and metaphors! I squirm just thinking about this book. There was so much wrong with it.

I enjoyed the Fallen series and was excited to see Teardrop by Lauren Kate. The story of Eureka is different. I like Lauren Kate‘s writing style and the worlds she builds. Eureka, however, is my least character by far. I‘m excited to see how the story ends and what happens to Eureka and Ander. I guess mainly I hope that book two is not as lackluster as book one, and that maybe Eureka will develop a bit of personality and some depth.

I chose to read this book because it's by my favorite author. I ended up loving it and it's now one of my favorite series. If you loved her book Fallen you will love this one as well. The book begins slowly as Fallen does but if you keep reading you will not regret it.

Spending the next two days in Indy. They have this cool downtown program that mixes art and literacy to offer free books to the community. The tagged book is the one I grabbed. I have run across 2 so far. City Market was a bust except for this industrial little library.

This was a quick read for me in a genre I don‘t normally read. It had terrible goodreads reviews but I enjoyed it! I do not read fantasy, not even sure if this is fantasy genre🤷🏻‍♀️ anyway, already ordered the second book.

Must of read these a thousand times❤️

Favorite Author of all time 😍

This one was a solid 3 ⭐️ for me. Not much happened until the last 2 hours of the book. This may be one where I don‘t continue on to the sequel...cut then again...who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

Downloaded Libby so I could listen to my Library #audiobooks

Why haven‘t I downloaded this sooner?!

✨I like all of the #laurenkate books that I‘ve read so far, but I haven‘t read #teardrop yet. If you have, what did you think of it? The ratings seem to be pretty low, but I think it sounds great.✨

I‘m on the fence about this. I enjoyed the mystique of the beginning, the storyline was interesting and I liked the characters but then it became a bit predictable. I will persevere and move on to Waterfall, hoping for some twists and surprises.

Lots going on in my life at the moment so it‘s good to have some ‘me‘ time occasionally. I‘m quite enjoying this, more than the ‘Fallen‘ series actually.

It‘s nice to read some YA with a fantasy element to take my mind off of the real world.

I got distracted by ‘Domestic‘ (such a good book) but I am back in the land of teenage angst and mysticism and enjoying the change of pace. I also just painted my nails so I‘m showing them off too 💅🏻

This has been on my shelf since 2014, I was waiting to have all three books before I read it but I guess I will make do with the 2 I have. I liked the Fallen series (not the abysmal film though) so here‘s hoping I will enjoy this one too. It makes a change from murder mysteries anyway.

This book started out very promising only to fall so flat in the last 50 pages.

I am reading waterfall (which is book 2 of the "tear drop" saga) I really recommend the first book and I will tell you my review when I finish the second??. #books #reading #lovereading #bookworm

Gutes Buch, mit einigen Schwächen.

I'm only up to chapter 10 and so far the story hasn't really progressed much. The plot is hanging in the air and the characters have no clear goals yet. Get a clue, Eureka! Ander!
I can't even muster enough curiosity to read more enthusiastically.
I loved Lauren's Fallen series so much that I read it 7 times, but this is just... bleh...
I'm so used to getting to some kind of turning point at the 3rd or 5th chapter in any book, but so far, nothing.

"Teardrop" by Lauren Kate 2/⭐️
.

I feel like Lauren Kate has some great ideas for fantasy books, and I was really excited to start this one when I heard the premise: A girl was taught that she must never cry, only to later read a story about a girl who cried entire continent into the sea. There was promise of magic, intrigue, and a whisper of Atlantis. It starts out interestingly but the second book totally killed the series for me.

Mein Fall war es nicht ganz so.. irgendwie plätscherte die Story so vor sich hin und das Ende fand ich auch merkwürdig. Die Idee mit Atlantis ist eig cool, nur hatte die Story letztlich damit noch nicht wirklich was Zu tun :/. werde den zweiten Teil wohl nicht lesen.. #booklover #german #reader #teardrop #leseratte #bücherwurm #urbanfantasy #fantasy

Wie schnell und leicht man sich doch von einem schönen Cover täuschen lassen kann! So schön dieses ist, so enttäuschend ist leider die Geschichte. Ich hatte wirklich mehr von dem Buch erwartet. Die Grundidee finde ich schön, nur die Umsetzung ist, meiner Meinung nach, gar nicht gelungen. Alles viel zu langatmig und eintönig, jedoch mit vielen, auch schönen Beschreibungen..
Daher 2,5 von 5 Sternen

"Das Letzte, was wir von anderen erwarten, ist das Letzte, was sie tun, bevor wir erfahren, dass wir ihnen nicht vertrauen können." #teardrop

Bin schon über die Hälfte und finde immer noch, dass die Spannung fehlt. So langsam könnte hier mal was passieren..?
