A Kiss in Time

by Alex Flinn

In my review of Alex Flinn's Beastly, I mentioned that I was willing to give him another chance despite my disappointment with that book. I had read a description of A Kiss in Time and thought it looked too intriguing to ignore. I won't make that mistake a third time.

This book was sub par at best. Telling the story of Sleeping Beauty and waking her up in the 20Th Century is a unique take on the well-known tale. However, once again, I wasn't in love with the characters and it seems like Flinn is still trying a little too hard to talk the talk of a seventeen-year-old. I was a little put off by the soul mates vibe, as I prefer characters to be a little more mature in those scenarios. Like Beastly, I was pleased by the Epilogue and the way he wrapped up some stray ideas.

All in all it was an okay book and it was devoid of any adult themes.
