Kalynn Bayron is an author whose books are an instant buy for me. I really enjoy her ideas and the way she executes them through storytelling. Although, her stories tend take a little bit longer to get to the action. I totally get what she was going for when it came to this duology but after what took place in This Poison Heart I was expecting things to go a little quicker in This Wicked Fate.
I thought we were going to hit the ground running with nonstop action. Instead, Briseis and the gang spend 21 days out of the 28 they had to save her mom sitting around waiting for documentation in order to leave the country. Then that’s when things finally started to pick up.
Overall, if things would have been a little bit more exciting then I would’ve rated it higher. I also wanted to see more interaction between Briseis and Marie because I totally forgot they had started dating in This Poison Heart. So it made believing they were head-over-heels in love kinda hard to do.
