arickman 's review for:
A Dark Lure
by Loreth Anne White
I listened to the audiobook, borrowed via KU read/listen. The narrator did a good job.
The rating is my personal opinion and doesn't mean the book was bad; it means the book wasn't for me. I was going to DNF the book at chapter 17 and actually skipped to the ending but one things was bugging me so I went back and I was hoping for a resolution with the issue with Forbes the land developer.
The issues I had with the book are as follows:
1. The pacing was slow, I was bored and by chapter 17 I was DONE and didn't care if they all died.
2. There were issues with the audiobook recording. Numerous times throughout the audiobook the sound quality sounded tinny and tunnel like. (like they spliced in bad quality re-recorded sections)
3. The ending felt unfinished.
4. I despise the no communication/miscommunication trope.
5. I wasn't a big fan of any of the main characters -
Olivia (Sarah) - head stuck in the sand, person you scream at for being stupid in a horror movie
Cole - he had his own issues to deal with but seemed to be a bit smarter than the rest
Gage - I could die at anytime with my medical issue but lets draw out a serial killer and bring my kid while I do it and not tell anyone including the person I used as bait.
6. The issue with the land developer was not resolved to my satisfaction and I ended up with more questions than answers after the confrontation.
