She's done it again!

AJ's is always coming up with new -- and unique -- ideas. This idea is another winner. I think AJ needs to look into cloning options so more of her ideas can be written down and published. ;) This wonderful writer is at the top of my favourites list!

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

Too slow. Not enough plot.

I really wanted to love this more. I was so excited for an MMM book, and the concept was great. Although I wasn't overly crazy about Nico's energy at first, I got on board with all the characters. I was even OK with the semi-insta-love between the three. It's just...too often I felt like we were moving through things step by step in a checklist.

Event: Person A becomes a familiar
To Do:
- Get his job moved - Check
- Talk to family - Check
- Everyone OK with this? - Check

Event: Main characters end up in Poly relationship
To Do:
- All people in relationship OK with this? - Check
- Coworkers OK with this? - Check
- Person A's family OK with this? - Check
- Person B's family OK with this? - Check
- etc

On top of that, the humor didn't do it for me. Sometimes it was funny, other times I felt like we were set up for the joke. By the end I had to push to finish which is why my rating went from 3 to a 2 stars. :-(

I enjoyed it and the characters are fun. I adore Niko and Wicky's interactions a lot. I did lag on it a bit at the end but not enough to not read the other books in the series.
