Fatal Harmony by Anne Malcom
1.0

Give me back my time! I have absolutely no idea how I managed to finish this book. I haven't dumped it in the do-not-bother folder because by some miraculous witchery it still made me read it until the end. I am utterly amazed!

I hated the main character, her love interests (yes, both of them), the vampire politics and the super duper mystery plot that was so easy to read even a child could see it coming from a mile away.

Above all else, I hated how Isla thought she was so superior to everyone around her and managed to continuously choose to do the most idiotic things time and again. Her spouting of philosophical nonsense in a sanctimonious preaching tone grated me to no end.

To a lesser degree, I also hated the instant love with both love interests and the fact that poor gentle Scott was ridiculed so much, and how he ended with one eye. That was a particularly low blow.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. There are much better options with sassy heroines. If you want a badass snarky chaotic anti-heroe, try Born in Fire written by K. F. Breene. Reagan is all that Isla tried and failed to be.

And with that, I say so long to this series. I will get myself out, thank you very much.
