rienne 's review for:
Halfway to the Grave
by Jeaniene Frost
I love it when writers skip over every single part of the plot that would actually be interesting to develop! Reading this was a lot like watching an action movie that has a romantic storyline at its center and fast forwarding through all the parts that aren't sex and action. This works for some people, just not for me. I like all of that slow development, especially with the romance.
It's also weird because a lot of time (half a year?) passes over the course of this book, but the time jumps are on steroids so you actually see nothing. I would've assumed this all happened over the course of a week if it weren't for the fact that I kept being reminded that it had been months. Halfway through the book the couple is having sex, and you're just kind of like, WHERE did this come from? It feels like your run-of-the-mill, zero to sixty everyone's-falling-in-love-in-a-week because of the incredible lack of depth in the book. It just kind of cheapens it for me, that the author would try so hard to sell this relationship as legit because of time when nothing substantial had been shown during this length of time.
