A review by goodeyreads
House of Eclipses by Casey L. Bond
slow-paced
2.0
NOT FOR ME.

I would have DNF this book pretty quickly if it wasn’t a book club read that I knew I had to get through.
The romance was lackluster and dry. It was very insta-lovey and not in a way I could get behind. It all felt too easy and there was no true conflict or anything between them. I’m not saying I need a third act breakup but I do want to see some tension and working to be with one another.
I also hated Noor’s sister. She was whiny, pointless and over the top. Moving on.
The plot was boring. I spent a lot of time skimming over things and hoping to see some true action and FANTASY elements. Instead I had the love interest throwing Noor a surprise birthday party that did not fit the tone of the novel.
This was my second, and last book by this author.
Overall audience notes:
- Fantasy Romance
- Language: a little
- Romance: kisses
- Violence: low-medium
- Trigger/Content Warnings: physical abuse
