sandreea 's review for:
Harley Merlin and the Secret Coven
by Bella Forrest
2.5 stars
The book started nicely but about halfway through it went downhill. The idea of the story is not original in anyway and once the similarities were pointed out, I couldn't help but notice the Harry Potter influence. The dialogue killed me. Seriously, why was a dialogue the only way she could find information? Are there no books?
The plot was... meh. It seemed like it was made up as Forrest wrote the book.
The characters are just one-dimensional. No substance and I already forgot half of them by now.
I could continue to bash on it, but really this may be more my fault than anyone else. I got spoiled reading non-YA books and forgot how annoyed they made me. (Hey at least there was no slut shaming. But then there was the irrational dislike of the main dude, so like there was balance in a weird way.)
It was an okay, promising start. I'll give the second book a chance...sometime.
