nadiareadsstuff 's review for:
Frigid
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I LOVE Armentrout's YA stories, but I just can't get into her adult stuff. For one, it's like she figures the people who read Adult contemp. or New Adult don't care about editing (NOT TRUE)... ALL her stories as J Lynn are in dire need of editing.
I also had a hard time with Lynn's use of the work 'punch.' I had enough of the air being punched out of the characters... having a punch in the gut, or gazes making their breaths "punch" out of them... really... and locking gazes... over... and over.... and over... and over... again.
This story in particular is filled with adult genre cliches, nothing like the originality of her Lux series.
Kyler's an idiot. Plain and simple. Sydney's not much better. She's wishy-washy and is always so surprised about people's positive opinions about her.
Even though her other story, Wait For You, had the same editing problems, it was a MUCH better story in terms of plot and characterizations.
For that... it gets a 2.5 star rating.
And to the author: Please edit your adult stories... if you can't... then stick to your YA... I'd read another LUX over these ANY DAY.
