A review by melissasfandomworld
After the Storm by Maya Banks
I decided to DNF this book at about 70% in.
I’ve always enjoyed Maya Banks books in the past and Romantic Suspense is a sub-genre I also really love to read. And despite the characters being interesting, a quite nicely set pace and a writing in general that I’m enjoying, I just can’t get behind this romance & it’s development. It just doesn’t click with me and it keeps bothering me. I’m not one who is normally not into ‘insta love’ and all that, but the pace of this romance development is just too much for me. And in a book like this, the romance part is just an integral part of the entirety of the reading experience and that has to be likeable to me. I therefore decided to stop reading, even though I was getting to the end already. Just; too many book, too little time.
I am still curious about other books in the series though. Every book focuses on another couple and romance and seeing I like Maya’s writing in general normally, I really like the romantic suspense sub-genre normally as well, I might definitely return to this world some time I think. This was the 8th book in the series, and you can all read them as stand alone books I will probably look into book 1 someday and start the series again from there on out.
As always when DNF’ing, I won’t rate the book. I just stand by my beliefs that it isn’t fair to rate a book that I haven’t finished from beginning ‘till end.
