Oh boy. If you read the blurp, you think it's going to be a wild ride. This is expecting to ride one of the worlds top 10 roller coasters, but ending up on the Caterpillar in kiddie land.
Desolation follows 6 FOSTER SIBLINGS as their world is suddenly turned upside down and the fate of the universe falls on their shoulders.
I'm not going to summarize much more. So let's get on to the critique.
First, these are kids who have grown up together as SIBLINGS and they now develop into a reverse harem relationship that apparently has been simmering under the surface for a while. Honestly, I couldn't get past this fact. 50 shades of wrong on this one.
Second, for a reverse harem romance novel off of Kindle Unlimited the spicy level is extremely low. I'd say 2 out of 5 stars. Nothing happens until 75% and that's just sad.
Third, the plot is just all over the place. It's trying to be a romance but it's mostly fantasy. The book is marketed as a fantasy romance, but how the plot is set up didn't work for me at all.

I don't know what to think, I don't know what to rate this. Maybe 2.5?
Pros
-quick read, the guys are interesting/sweet for the most part
-the secret/reveal was compelling even if I did hate how it was handled and what happened
Cons
-the FMC is really immature and annoying - she's supposed to be 21 but this would be a lot more believable as a YA with a 16 year old protagonist. She's kinda a dick.
-nothing really happens for most of it
- the non consensual encounter is very complicated and likely to mess everything up in the future. I'm not sticking around to see what happens because I don't think there's any handling of that that I would agree with.
