Review:

This was my first experience of a novel by this author and to be honest it will definitely be my last.

The story was not strong and the use of language was juvenile to say the least with constant repetition of female derogative terms.  This novel was weird and not at all sexy.  The female character was annoying beyond words and it was a struggle to finish this book

Perhaps a factor to the reader’s lack of fulfilment in this novel is that she did not read the first novel in the series first.  Therefore where the story continued on from the first novel this reader came into the story part way through.

Don’t get me wrong I am not a prude but I did fine the use of language very derogative towards the female character.  Surely in this day and age we should be viewing the sexes in a similar light. If the male is a weak character portray him as such, likewise a female character, but please be sparing in your use of language.  There is no need for base derogating language for either character.  It shows lack of imagination on the part of the author.  As readers we should be demanding more from our authors (if that is what you want to call them)!

This reader felt that this book and author got close, but unfortunately they were not given the proverbial cigar.

Full Disclosure: I received a free copy from Netgalley for an honest review.

I rated this 2 stars on Netgalley and 'it was OK' on Amazon (3 stars) and Goodreads (2 stars)
