A Whisper in the Dark by Jessi Elliott, K.J. Sutton
3.25
Oh, the dreaded serial. Sigh. I already know I don't like serials and somehow I ended up reading this first part and the second part.
It was fine. There's nothing really wrong with the writing or the story. It's more plot-driven, however, so I don't feel connected to the characters at all. The plot was intriguing enough for me to read two parts, but unfortunately, not enough for me to continue on with the last two. I do like Drew and sort of like Charlie herself, but both of them were kind of flat since there wasn't much time spent on them or their relationship. I honestly can't remember what happened in this first part to differentiate it from the second. I think this could have been good as one book (my constant complaint about serials) with more emphasis on characters; however, the world seems interesting and it's a different take on the usual vampire story.
I know lots of other people like it though so take what I say with a grain of salt.
