Infinity Chronicles: Book Three
by Albany Walker
Just not enough
I get that this is supposed to be a paranormal romance but it's like the paranormal part is an afterthought, barely anything happens to advance that story line in any of the books. It's mostly used as a means to explain the need for a reverse harem relationship as if genre readers need a reason for a reverse harem to exist. We don't, the readership accepts this type of relationship exists in the same way any other does. So the lack of advancement in that part of the plot and that fact that it only seems to exist to create a reason for the relationship really bugs me. It took three books for Walker to actually introduce the villain who hasn't done anything bad since before the main character was born. That is until they finally introduce him and even then it was barely a thing. Most of the series has been sleeping, eating, and shopping while occasionally introducing jealous females who aren't appropriately dealt with. Sorry but if my spouse subjected me to Mia or Delaney with the way they behave I'd get a divorce. I get that the girls behavior isn't their fault, but consistently creating situations for it to occur like it's no big deal is their fault. It shows they have little respect for Laura and enjoy the altercations in order to feed their egos. Two members of the harem are kind of their own thing and barely interact with Laura outside of friendship and the whole group lacks balance. It's like she's dating Ares and sometimes messes around with his friend rather than an actual reverse harem. Additionally the editing both for typos and content needs serious work. Between books one and two the campground owner changed his name from Mike to Mark. Dante has been both a lion and a tiger in the three books and I want to say was once referred to as a panther. That's just a couple examples. Not much actually happens in each installment to drive the plot forward. The story has potential but it's not living up to that potential.
