Shades of Doon by Carey Corp, Lorie Langdon
3.0
After reading the first books in this series I was beyond excited to receive the third in the mail. However I am sad to say I was disappointed as I started reading the book and had to put it down for awhile before picking it up again.
The book picks up beautifully from where the second one, Destined For Doon, leaves off, but as the book goes on it feels as though the authors didn't know where they were going with it. I often found myself thinking that I was simply re-reading the second book.
Not only did I feel like I was reading the second book over again, but I also fund myself annoyed with the turn the book took in its age range. The book is marked as young adult, and at times I would agree, but at others I felt more like I was reading a book meant for preteens. The language used and topics it would dive into head first and then quickly avoid was annoying.
I'm sad to say by the end of this novel I was not excited for the fourth and final in the series.
