Blood in the Water by Catherine Johnson
2.0
Not for me.
While Paul and Ashleigh has ok chemistry right at the beginning, that slowly fizzled out for me. Once they were actually together I couldn’t figure out why they got closer seeing as they barely talked to each other and just had sex constantly.
This book was so unnecessarily long. For having a pretty simple and unremarkable plot this story DRAGGED. The introduction was so fucking long and tedious. The only intro that was actually beneficial to the story was Samuel’s and even then it could have been shortened.
This author took 20 pages to explain something that could have been said in a few sentences, a paragraph at the most.
Also what the hell was with all the slurs???? Racial slurs, homophobic slurs, ableist slurs....
While I understand we’re talking about criminals and dudes who don’t give two fucks about anything, it felt like the author used that as an excuse to slip in some fucked up opinions.
That definitely ruined what could have been an OK book.
