Already so much more entertaining than "Bewitching"!

Melanie is finished with Bewitching (Regency Magic #1)

At least the ending was stronger...

Melanie is on page 253 of 452 of Bewitching (Regency Magic #1)

Yes, there's something wrong when the most interesting characters are a sleepy, hair-eating weasel and two guys who haven't appeared in the past 10 (of the nearly 17 read) chapters.

Ok. Some entertaining moments. Getting used to the writing style. But I don't like the Hero. I get that Barnett's trying to pull off damaged but like able, but she's not succeeding. And frankly, I find the heroine a bit mediocre, as well. And by the way, where have the Earl and the Viscount been? We spent an awful lot of time with them for them to disappear.

Good grief, the prose in this thing is repetitive, overwrought, and just plain exhausting. Plugging on...

Melanie is finished with A Night Like This (Smythe-Smith Quartet, #2)

Thank goodness it picked up in Chapter 10. I was beginning to think it would be the first JQ book I couldn't finish.

Melanie is on page 124 of 373 of A Night Like This (Smythe-Smith Quartet, #2)

Six chapters done...and I still don't really care about these characters. Can we read about Hugh now? Or the little Pleinsworth cousins? Their antics would be more compelling than the build up to their governess' romance.

A hint of mystery. And...meh.

I generally love JQ, but this is a letdown so far.
