Sooo first things first... I would like to review some pieces of fanfiction when I get the chance. I hope you find this helpful as I am an honest critic and I only read stories with excellent writing. So without further adieu the first fanfic is.....
The Blessing and the Curse by The Black Arrow.
SO this fanfiction has totally taken me by surprise. This is The Black Arrow's first story and Its a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be from the summary. I started reading it yesterday and I am already half way through. In this story, Edward and Bella have been friends since they were born. Esme brings Bella into the Cullen family after Renee dies. From the time they were young, Edward had a certain influence over Bella. While Bella had always pined for Edward, he was always with other girls, keeping Bella as a backup when he was lonely. While he may not have been in a romantic relationship with Bella, he was still insanely possessive over her. He never let her have any crushes and no boys were allowed to even look at her without Edward basically beating them to a pulp. He always claimed the "Bella was his."
Edward also has a "talent." He can read Bella's mind when he has physical contact with her. This adds a whole new dimension to the story because Bella can not hide many of her thoughts and feelings from the one person who consumes her mind. Six years later, Bella is engaged to Mike Newton and has moved on with her life (So she thinks). She is coming to see the Cullen's due to Esme's decline in health. Edward notices in those six years of not seeing each other that Bella may mean more to him than just a friend. Bella's interactions with Edward make the story very interesting as she has grown up a lot and is somewhat stronger than she was before. The Black Arrow's Edward is portrayed as seriously disturbed, while incredibly H-O-T. I think this is one of the sexier Edwards I have ever read. At one point in the story, Bella calls Darkward "creepy hot," which cracked me up because it is bluntly true. The UST is off the charts as Bella tries to resist Edward's advances. There has not been any hot and heavy lemons thus far, but The Dark Arrow knows how to drive her readers crazy with little touches, glances and a few hot kisses.
Like I said before, this story has started off very well. So far I give it 4/5 hearts. Let's hope creepy-hot Edward continues to captivate me. :)
I will try to review Fanfics and other books when I have the time. I love reading reviews from other readers in the fandom because it helps me figure out which story to read next. Hopefully I can help some other readers out there who are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stories in our fandom. I know because I've been there!!
One last note, I went to the beach yesterday. Unfortunately, I got super sunburnt. I feel like I'm on fire right now!! BUT, it was a beautiful day so here is a picture I took when I was leaving :)
Have a good weekend :)
