candyfm 's review for:
Harley Merlin and the Secret Coven
by Bella Forrest
I really wanted to love this book but I’ve ended up feeling duped by some pretty persistent Facebook marketing that convinced me to purchase it. It’s a 5 stars for the marketing but a seriously disappointed reader here.
Pacing was awful and it felt like a first draft that hasn’t been worked at all. When I check the authors page and see just how prolific and fast her turn out of books is it makes more sense. There definitely could be a book worth reading here if only quality over quantity was the goal.
And all the way through the Harry Potter plot points and characters are so thinly disguised it was irritating. It put me right at the brainstorming desk with the author over and over again. I could actually hear her saying “ooo if hogwarts/ Malfoy/diagon alley/ Voldemort, (insert any Harry Potter element) wasn’t the same what could it be? And that’s the problem, this story was never developed enough to move far enough away from this to take on its own flesh blood and soul.
Really disappointing and almost became a discarded unfinished book. I struggled to get to the end. So sad I won’t be reading any more as I would love to find a book that was all this one promised to be.
