A Touch of Danger by Elaine White
Did not finish book.
DNF @ 27%
This unfortunately didn't work at all for me.
The plot interested me, but the rest just felt awkward.
Dialogue was unnatural and awkward, which made the weird hot-and-cold blossoming romantic subplot uncomfortable and stilted. A lot of things didn't make sense or directly contradicted each other, particularly Drew's background and what he tells the house mates about himself. All the stuff around Vihaan was confusing because I couldn't tell how the shifting fit in and if Drew suspected anything because any sort of world-building was missing.
I was also confused by the characters' ages. I'm not an expert on the US school system, but 25 and 30 doesn't seem to be usual college age, and it further didn't fit with the characters' backgrounds.
While I would like to know how the entire police investigation ends and how things turn out with Drew and Vihaan, A Touch of Danger failed to make want to keep reading when its writing made it unappealing to me.
I received an ARC and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
