sheadra 's review for:

Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire
2.0

Spoiler warnings.

Disappointing. I expect a detective to do some detecting instead of whinging about how no one will be happy to see her, then going to those people for help anyway, and then running from fight to fight bringing those fights to those people's doors. I found the bad guy was telegraphed early and obviously. Oh and wouldn't you know it, it's a person she dated and smooched in the book. Idk I was eager to read a book the dropped all those tropes and just found more and more of them. The world building is cool but the characters are lackluster, predictable, and whiny.
