Storm by Nina Levine

2.0

Don't know how I feel about this one. It's more of a 2.75 rather than a 2 but it didn't do enough for me to go as far as 3. Can't put my finger on it, but the plot didn't entirely catch me and I somehow went along with it to see where it was headed but I wasn't majorly invested in the story. None of the characters really had me emotionally invested in their wellbeing either and I suspect that derives from the plot, though I would have liked them to be more complex rather than defined by the one characteristic: Nash was the manwhore, Scott the overprotective brother, Mum was the familymaker, Marcus the stereotypical bad dad - with cheating thrown in to make it worse. I'm not saying there weren't attempts by the author to improve on these, they just didn't do enough to make them come alive for me.

It is entirely possible that the series will get better as it goes. I may come back to check it later, but for anyone who just got started on it and enjoyed the premise, I encourage you to try the second book as well before you write it off since there are some promising signs there. Learning curve and all. :)
