Fell flat. Not for me.
How ridiculous, to get to 91%, and want to DNF…
I’m bored.
It’s too slow, too awkward, flat, and poorly developed. I just don’t buy into most of the story, and am uninterested in that which I do.
I paused after struggling to reach where I did, and now can’t convince myself to finish.
I’m certain that some will find this enjoyable, but I’m not one.
There’s no need to rip it apart, but so you can figure out if this is for you: it starts with a small amount of action, then stutters along with hints of action, amongst, easy, uninvolved relationship moments (mostly sex), right up until 91%.
Don’t know if it changes from there…the first book did pickup right at the end.
I skipped to the last page, but didn’t find anything to convince me to fill in the gap.
It’s placid, friendly smut, with hints of action, but nothing to stressful, or suspenseful.
It does have an interesting plot blended in, but just drags it out, and out, and out..
It also has some very disturbing, dark backstory’s, but all told in past-tense, so plenty of reader-distance.
Some awkward, over-explained dialogue, but lacking in the world building.
I like the ideas, but not the writing style.
