I give up.
I tried hanging with these books, and after 3, I just can’t do it anymore. I hoped – after my last review, that things would improve, but they’re getting worse.
The author takes 50 pages of story, and packs it into hundreds and hundreds of pages. A good bit of these hundreds of pages is rehash of what we already know – both from within the current book and from previous books. Over and over and over again…
And frankly, the sex is just over the top. I’m no prude – I have no problem with explicit sex for the most part. It’s just that the way it’s presented here seems uncomfortable in this story. I don’t know how this isn’t classified as pornography.
So, after 3 in the series, I’m throwing in the towel. They’re getting worse not better. Which is too bad. If the editor would have helped the author winnow this down to the essential story, these first 3 books could have made a nice 200 to 300 page novel, and it would have been quite a good read. In those places where the author gets on with the story, she’s quite good. Her editor should be ashamed that this didn’t happen.
