Flint by Eva Kent
2.0
It was fine, but it could REALLY use a good editor. There were multiple points where words were missing - prime example being page 43 where a sentence just ends in the middle and we move on to the next paragraph. However, I went into this expecting a story that wasn't the best written but would be a good break after what I have been reading. There is a lot lacking from the book for me to actually call it a good book and say I enjoyed it, but it was a nice break and I wouldn't be opposed to reading something else in the series.
I didn't care for the drama with Marilyn and Flint was a total ass about it. A LOT is left unexplained about the world so the worldbuilding is a little lackluster. No, I don't need a bunch of explanation about what is clearly supposed to be North America, but we get very very little in regards to the different types of shifters, a rare set of them being healers (and she's apparently at least slightly psychic since she has the vision of her wedding dress and where he takes her after the wedding, are there other powers??), then witches get thrown into the mix.
Plus the reproduction aspect is...odd. It's like it's split between an alpha/omega type trope and the true mate trope where the characters can only reproduce with their true mate. From what I could gather, there has to be some level of sexual attraction that causes the female to go into heat and it's strongest with your true mate. She never got pregnant with Zagan because she absolutely hated his guts. But even describing it as "in heat" is an interesting word choice because it really isn't a heat, the female in the situation gets wet and is extremely fertile if she reacts to someone. One would expect a willing female to be aroused but apparently this author chooses to use it in a different way.
As someone else mentioned, there is also a lot of repetition and the number of times the word "slick" is used is high. I read the kindle version so I searched and got 39 results. If you count all the title pages and the excerpt from Slash's book there are 392 pages in the book. Without the extra pages there are around 378.
