Killer Beauty by Harlow King, Eva Chance
2.0
I was intrigued by the reviews I had seen about this book. When I dove in, I was surprised by the slow burn between the characters. I thought this would dive right in. I love a slow-burn romance. Like, sign me up for some mixed signals, POV changes, and banter that leaves me wanting more for them. I did not get that experience from this book. The slow burn confused me and there was almost too much else going on to when we did get some romance I wasn't sure why this was happening.
I will note that the plot did have some twists and turns. They were predictable but this book is left on a cliffhanger so can I appreciate them withholding information to get me to keep reading.
Another qualm I had was the characters did not particularly speak to me. I didn't care what happened to them to be completely frank. I was left wondering what was going on more than I would like when reading a book that is less than 300 pages.
Overall, I thought this book was somewhere between 2 and 3 stars. I decided since it's a slow burn, I would stick it out for the second book just to see if I am judging too harshly (spoiler, I wasn't).
