Asher Black by Parker S. Huntington

3.0

This was an entertaining read for the most part. The narrator, Lucy, was a bit too crass for my liking and had a heavyyyy internal dialogue. This was off putting in the beginning but I eventually got used to it. As the story picked up, I enjoyed it more and more. It made me laugh quite a bit, especially when things were still light. Mainly when Lucy’s BFF Aimee was part of the story before completely disappearing. The most disappointing part was when the two finally went all the way. It was a sloooow burn, and when it finally happened, I was disappointed. Didn’t remotely scratch the itch for me and honestly I felt cheated out of my time. On a similar note, I thought the ending was a bit lazy as well. Not at all how I expected things to go down. With all the information on Asher’s security system, body guards, and all of his company’s creations (special body armor and bulletproof glass for example), not to mention Lucy’s fighting and shooting training, I was expecting a showdown. That was certainly not the case. It was entertaining enough, and it made me smile at times, but it felt like it was missing something.
