Head Games by Onley James, Neve Wilder
DNF... at 50%
It hurt my heart to do this to a Neve book.. but I just can't get into this book. I tried picking it multiple times, but no dice.
And given that I skimmed through these 50%... it wasn't a good sign.
Reasons:
1. There was a certain shallowness to the book: from the characters to the plot and the connection between the MCs.
2.Tobais... I didn't like him AT ALL.
Tobias who has been working with criminals and dissect their psyche..decided to turn into one practically over night. Not only that, but we didn't actually get into his own Psyche of how and why he wants to kill his clients. For someone with this job, I was expecting someone more logical, rational and smart. I didn't get that here. He was a surface deep character, who was plain annoying for me.
3. The connection...
I didn't buy it. What made them attracted to each other?
4. The sex... the sex scenes read weird for me. I also skimmed them. Me!
I wanted to love this book so bad. Book 2 was one of my faves, Az and Madigan were amazing but these characters, and their book, fell flat for me. High expectations suck.
Sorry!
