daydreamer45 's review for:
Ball & Chain
by Abigail Roux
The best thing I could say about this book is that I enjoyed it more than I expected. It was fun in a light, don't-think-too-hard, forget-about-it-the-next-week way.
I didn't struggle with reading it but I wasn't totally happy about it either. If I got a lev [$, pound, euro] (pound actually, it's got the highest value) for every time I had the urge to roll my eyes, I'd be rich enough to buy a new laptop (or three) by now.
It's been said before, and better, but Ball & Chain didn't feel like Ty and Zane's book, it felt like Nick's book. If I was as invested in the series as I used to be, this would be a disappointment. Now it's all the same for me.
Also, that island set up, with cut off communications when they are expecting to be attacked is palinly stupid. If the idea was to show that the Stantons wanted to draw out their enemies, they went so wrong about it.
I was going to make a status update about Burns being Chekhov's gun. He appeared so he must go off some way. And then he did before I got the chance to update. :D
For strong, capable men with serious issues they all quite successfully behave like school girls: chuckling, snorting, sniggering, snickering, chortling, All. The. Time.
The set up for N&K's book felt also less exciting than it was probably meant to be but oh well, it featured so it's forgiven.
The end result is: I din't love it but I didn't hate it either. The drinking-bingo game might have helped with that.
The sad thing is, I'm no longer moved by Ty and Zane. This series has run its course and I'm ready to see it finished and put it behind me. I will probably read the final book (no promises, though!) but I sure don't feel like squeeing and fangirling about it.
