Daughter of Lies by Kenley Davidson
3.0
I don't know if I'm just tired of this series, or if this book was actually worse than the others, but it certainly felt worse. Don't get me wrong, this book is still fun to read, and I love Brenna a lot, but it just fell a bit flat to me, and felt much more predictable than the other books in this series.
There were some parts of the book that were funny, little lines here and there, that I really want to give credit to. Also, Quinn is a great character. I need more.
One thing that really irritated me throughout was that everyone made a big deal about how Louise was way too old for Rom, but then Brenna and Rom had almost the same age gap. It made me uncomfortable, and was the most prominent of numerous gender roles throughout the book.
I'm going to be honest right now and say that I am a little biased, because the last time I read about Brenna, I really wanted to be the gay representation this series needed (I mean, even in this book she talks about how she's never met a man that's interested her). Instead, the romance was straight, very fast, and honestly a little boring.
