Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

DNF - made it to 31% (end of chapter 9) before throwing in the towel. I don’t know how to review this. I really wanted to like this, the cover art was awesome & lured me in, to even skip it to the top of my TBR list, when I bought this (for free on Amazon). There was potential, but somehow, it was lost. To start, the editing/proof work is horrible, it can ruin even a good story, but in a mediocre story, it just becomes un-readable. Too many pauses spent backtracking to make sense of a sentence, & disrupting the flow. Then the flipping back & forth from past to present every chapter is a huge turn off. That jump to the past in chapter 10 was where I said enough is enough, I’d end up destroying my iPad if I have to do one more jump to the past (even if it does give insight into what happened to bring the story to the point it’s at in the present). There has to be a better way than chapter surfing from past to present. Then there’s Callypso, she’s too stupid to be a a good heroine character. I hated her. The only thing I did like about her, was her using her Siren powers for good instead of evil. Then the “Bargainer”, aka Desmond Flynn. A contradiction in itself wrapped up in an enigma, a fae that does very much remind me of Rhys from “A Court of Mist and Fury”, a little too much for my tastes. Callypso keeps saying he’s a bad guy, does horrible things, well at 31%, I didn’t see it. He seemed like a pretty nice guy with Callypso. I didn’t see anything bad, other than the naughty innuendos he flirted with Callypso & Callypso saying he’s bad. So no, I won’t continue with the series.
