Asher Black
by Parker S. Huntington
Decent read!
Couple of little things that bugged me (spoilers):
There is huge talk about the mafia, and they play such a minor role in the book. Like...the protagonist who is hiring people to kill them...is simply a corporate guy who wants to be CEO. Just seems like a huge reach.
Another thing was that there was a bit too much descriptions. Even simple things were being explained which I feel didn't need to be.
Third...literally every single blonde woman in the book was the stereotypical gold digger who looks down their nose at the main heroine. The rich friend she makes is the exact opposite and is of course...brunette. This stereotype of feminine and blonde women being antagonists is heavily overused. Felt a hit like reading a teen wattpad story at times.
Next...for a woman who is supposed to be one of the smartest and is attending the best school in the country...it doesn't really seem like it. Her education is pushed to the background, and she comes off childish sometimes in the way she talks to people. Some things had me cringing at times.
And finally...all that build up, and the sex was fast and over with pretty quickly. It seemed very distant, like a hook up, rather than sex with someone you're supposed to love.
...
I know I've made a lot of complaints haha. The story lacks in some areas, again reminding me of a wattpad story. But...
Overall it was still a decent and fast read. I did enjoy it.
