A review by pshelling
Rites of Spring by J.V. Speyer
3.0
Based on the description, I was hoping for a page turning paranormal investigation. What I got instead was a typical romance. If you walk in with more realistic expectations of the romance genre, then you will probably like this book. It was solid in delivering a romance to a T, so the author displays mastery of the genre.
The main reason I rated his book with 3/5 stars is how dislikeable Cameron is. He's immature, irrational, and constantly trying to pick fights with his love interest. I guess it creates conflict, but the repetition of the themes of the arguments got old.
Other than Cameron, the writing is actually pretty sold. The loose ends get tied up so you won't feel cheated by a cliffhanger, but there's definitely still room for the series to expand. The prose was error free and consistent in voice. My only complaint with the exposition it that there's no time breaks, which means I had to sit through the mundane parts of Cameron's life until the story started moving.
I received a review copy of this book.
