This book was very slow, I feel like the same story could be told with a quarter of it taken out and nothing would be lost. The pacing was very slow and it felt like a lot more should have and could have happened. That’s the reason for two stars being taken away. Otherwise, it was written well and I liked the characters. The romance felt a bit forced and the male love interest reminded me more of an awkward teen than a grown man.
There are a few people I’ll likely recommend this to—those who like slow, laid back paced stories with a bit of dark intrigue.
I can see why this was popular, mostly because it was fairly predictable and an easy read, but I like a faster paced stories.
