The Unseen by Ali Roberts
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
DNF @ 30%
Booktok got me, again. I really should know better, but this one sounded so promising. A slightly unhinged mafia enforcer MMC who willingly lets the FMC he's been stalking kidnap him? You would think this would be a "count me in" scenario. It was not.
My favorite character interactions were between the MMC and his therapist. The MMC seemed almost nerfed as an enforcer. He was mostly cinnamon roll and didn't seem to have any lingering habits/reactions from his previous life. The FMC, was so back and forth I couldn't stand her. The therapist is my favorite character.
On top of that, I didn't like the writing. It was very: I did [insert action here.] and then a paragraph explaining the action and all of the thoughts related to the action. It took so many pages to describe the MMC walking the FMC to her car, I forgot what we were doing. There were also a few places where sentences didn't make sense. Overall, the writing liked to meander and not move the plot in any way.
Interesting idea. Poor execution.
