Silent in the Grave
by Deanna Raybourn
Oh my. So, I just started following the Vaginal Fantasy stuff. I have no interest in the current pick. I only had marginal interest in the alternate, but it's not available via Kindle, so I'm not bothering. But my library had this past pick, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'd been meaning to give the series a try anyway.
This book was SO boring. It started out okay. I thought it was more of a romance, but it's not at all. The heroine is entirely flat. There was no chemistry between Julia and Brisbane. Julia is annoyed in the beginning when she thinks her brother thinks of himself as her better, but she constantly refers to herself as a better of MANY people. I realize that the mindset is part of the period, but in every OTHER way, she and her family don't conform to that thinking, so it was odd that she still did it in that respect. This book technically takes place in Victorian England, but you couldn't tell it from most of the book. The characters actions and opinions are almost entirely 21st century. Even all that might have been okay, except that through most of the book, almost NOTHING happens. There are pages and pages and pages of nothing. This book also can't decide what it's supposed to be. I'm all about mixed genres, but really? A historical mystery romance? Okay. A historical mystery SUPERNATURAL romance? Um, no.
Needless to say I won't be continuing this series.
