A Bit Too Much, Poor Character Development

I knew that this book would have plenty of sexy moments, but this book had a bit too much. It seemed like the author needed to fill up some pages and did so by adding a few extra sex scenes that were not necessary to the plot.

My biggest problem with the book is the illogical character development of Vanessa. I'm trying not to spoil the story for others but Vanessa's moral character degrades just because she's found a man she wants to have sexy time with (I'm being PC about what they were doing). Vanessa completely does a 180 on her qualms regarding the lifestyle of a gangster, is ok with phentonol distribution, and even willingly exposes her child to the mob world that she's been trying to dodge for 20+ years. This behavior doesn't make sense, and makes her unlikeable.

The organized crime universe has potential, but I can't continue with the series due to the unlikeable characters.

Stupid Teen Logic, Poor Narration

I must have missed the YA label in the description. You have a 17 year old girl who constantly complains about not being treated like an adult, and yet when in a dangerous situation, she purposely makes stupid decisions that puts herself and others in peril.

The other concern I have is that this 17 year old girl falls in love with a 19 year old boy. Now that's a legal trainwreck waiting to happen. The reader has to watch this relationship develop wondering if this relationship will cross the line of propriety. All the author had to do is to shift the ages to 18 and 20 to make the relationship more palatable.

The story's universe was interesting, but the author could have developed it more to make it really good. As it is now, it is missed opportunity and falls flat.

The narration was poor. There was little distinction between the characters' voices, and the acting was bad. The enjoyment of the story could have been better if the narrator didn't emphasize the poor dialog, which was sophomoric..

I couldn't wait to finish book #1, I and will return it. I bought this on sale and it's not even worth that.

Great story telling, but you will need to have read some of the other books to understand all of the references.

Narration is excellent as usual.

Most of these books have a good and enjoyable story. This one was a bit more engaging.

There is a new story line that takes place in a new land, which opens up tons of new opportunities. Minalin, of course, has a brilliant way to manipulate the situation. Fun!

During the first couple of chapters, I was concerned that this book would not have a lot of meat to it. I was wrong. The story and the characters started to bloom into something more intriguing.

The narration was good and fit the characters.

The first half of this story reads so much like the others. There's some new action that takes place in the second half, but that is not enough incentive for me to continue the series.

The narrator uses similar voices for several characters, which makes it difficult to differentiate who is whom.

You will find a very similar plot layout to that of the Rose Gardner series. In that respect the book is predictable. It's a good read, but not a great one. Narration is good.

This book was a bit slow until the end. However, it does open up to a new story arc, which will be interesting.

I'm disappointed with the narrator because she changes the pronunciation of Hassan, after saying the name one way during 8 previous books.

As the title states, there is very little new story information. The narrator is not good at creating distinctive voices, so the storytelling is very blah! I do not know why they didn't use the original MALE actor to star as the female lead. That statement should tell you how bad this narrator was.
