Saving Saint by Joel Abernathy
2.0
I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest review...
There was too much going on in this book. I was waiting for Danny and Saint's book... and even though it started strong it kind of gave me so many WTF moments especially after the 50% mark.
Even though Joel is an author who I click with, whose books I normally read pretty fast which was also the case here, I couldn't help but think that this book was stuffed with too many tropes and events for such a short book.
I also didn't believe the connection between Saint and Danny... it felt tarnished as well after Danny practically transforms into another person.
Some events were glossed over..I won't get into details to keep this spoiler free.
I get trauma changing a person, but in this case Danny became someone entirely different and it didn't really click with how he treated Saint, someone he has been in love with for so long.
Saint also was very inconsistent... the things he did were unforgivable but the way he just went belly up for Danny later didn't fit his personality at all.
The sexual dynamics also didn't make sense... things were just introduced on the spot which I didnt get.
So many things didnt really work for me... it was bummer really because I wanted to like it. Things didn't add up, plot holes...
