A review by jackiehorne
Angel in a Devil's Arms by Julie Anne Long
Did not finish book.
DNF at 100 pages
I usually love Julie Anne Long's writing, and I enjoyed Angelique from the first book in the series, and was looking forward to reading her story. But we're at 75 pages in, and we're still in the first scene. Not much happening, plot-wise. Long's language is, as usual, lovely, with lots of spot-on metaphors and similes. Still, the balance of dialogue to narrative seemed off, with far too much of the former, and not enough of the latter to explain who Lucien, the bastard viscount come back from the dead after 10 years, was and is.
