Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In the beginning Lynsay (I feel we're on a first name basis since I've been reading her vampire romances since they first came out) wrote some cute and delightful romances that involved vampires and would make me laugh out loud. I couldn't eat or drink while reading them because I knew - just KNEW - at some point I would laugh until a pig snort came out. Then she left that part of the series and went towards the vampire enforcers. Now suddenly they have a cookie cutter plot and books are churned out every 6 months or so. Take this book for example. Here's a girl who finds a guy naked in a cage and rescues him...ok.... then they start fooling around on the back of the plane.... Say what?!?! What the...? Really??? you think that in that in this type of situation that that would be first thing that you'd think about? Hey he's/she's hot - let's hump??? But wait - it gets better because then they jump off a plane and, wait for it, she hits her head rendering her unconscious for HOURS - H-O-U-R-S PEOPLE!! while her "life mate" swims (8 miles? through the night) single handedly towards shore hauling her (with head above water), holding on to a first aid kit and, oh yeah, fighting off a shark that comes nosing around. That's so believable right? And that head wound that created all those hours and hours of unconsciousness? It's nothing - just a little gash that doesn't prevent them from even pausing in their feverish perusal of each other as they deal with being stranded on a beach with the bad guys supposedly after them. And that's all this book is - one cheesy sloppy clumsy fumbling after another (the terms "romance" and "love scene" are just too refined to apply). And then the big reveal comes and she learns vampires exist + she's now one, and the girl (heroine too lofty a title to give her) couldn't care less - there's no pause in the action because hey, she has the perfect body ("pow pow" to quote her initial response) and now life's peachy. Don't get me wrong - that's a heck of an incentive, but take Mary for example. Now Mary has lost her kids and grandkids but seems just fine because she has her sexy boy toy around (their story was the focus of the last book). So, to clarify in case you missed it, about a week after her fake death by fire, she's moving on with life and totally ok with the fact that her family is no longer part of her future and actually believe that she's dead (Mom of the Year award goes to.....) while she romps around totally consumed by the never ending heat of her lust. As I'm reading this vomit I swear I can hear Lynsay laughing all the way to the bank since she's conned me into buying one last book even though the last 4-5 have been getting steadily worse and worse. And let me tell you - I swear by all that's Holy, this IS my LAST book. This has taken a couple of hours to slog through that I'll never get back. For the record, I refuse to continue to read the crud she's turning out - even if she were to start giving them away for free. Life's just too short. If you want a good vampire romance why not try your hand at writing one of your own. You'll actually have something to show for your time and, trust me, there's NO WAY you could do worse than the sludge I was just subjected to. But, in case you're a die hard fan who hasn't given up hope and think she can redeem herself, there's yet another vampire hunter/enforcer/police novel coming out in MARCH 2017. If this is indeed the case, then bless your heart I hope for your sake she does a 180 instead of just changing the names of her characters. If you're fed up like me, why not try Jeanine Frost? Her series has ended and, full disclosure, touch on some bloody scenes now and then, but there's tons of thought, humor and character development throughout her Night Huntress series. What would you have to lose?
