Did Not Finish: Let the Sky Fall, Shannon Messenger

Blurb

       Vane Weston should have died in the category-five tornado that killed his parents. Instead, he woke up in a pile of rubble with no memories of his past — except one: a beautiful, dark-haired girl standing in the winds. She swept through his dreams ever since, and he clings to the hope that she's real.
       Audra is real, but she isn't human. She's a sylph, an air elemental who can walk on the wind, translate its alluring songs, even twist it into a weapon. She's also a guardian — Vane's guardian — and has sworn an oath to protect him at all costs.
       When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both their families, Audra has just days to help Vane unlock his memories. And as the storm winds gather, Audra and Vane start to realize that the greatest danger might not be the warriors coming to destroy them, but the forbidden romance growing between them.
       Let the Sky Fall (26%) definitely trailed my expectations. I picked it up hoping for a similar experience as I had with the Lux series by Jennifer Armentrout. Shannon Messenger's story just couldn't hold my attention or be taken seriously.
       Let the Sky Fall starts with a boy named Vane, who survived a tornado when he was young. He can''t remember anything from before the accident except for a mysterious dark-headed girl. (This is just the beginning of all things cheesy.) He ends up seeing her while he is on date with another girl (of course). Audra tells him that he is "more powerful and important than he knows" (barf).
       The entirety of the first 100 pages, (and I am assuming the next 300 pages as well) is all cheesy fluff. I was hoping for more of a plot, some character complexity, or anything worth my interest, but did not get anything remotely close.
       My advice for this book is this: If you read, expect only romance. You aren't going to get anything else. At all.

Infinite possibilities. And none of them matter. 
What matters is here and now."
