A review by starstruck
One Night Standard by E.F. Dodd
2.5
“Shoving down my cavewoman response to link myself to the strongest hunter and procreate, I focused on his question.”
This one was just not for me. I’m not a big fan of the alpha male thing, and it just made me cringe whenever Jamie and Coral talked about their “animal instincts.” This book has a large demographic, and unfortunately I just am not a member of it. When Jamie assaulted the guy at the bar, I was just wondering why he would make himself liable for a physical assault charge when the guy was basically just being a creep.
After the 60% mark, I physically could not focus on the words and basically skimmed everything to get to the end. The ending was super cute and honestly made reading this a lot more worthwhile. I loved Jocelyn, and the premise of being an occupational mermaid was so interesting. I liked that the fmc was tall, because I feel like theyre typically portrayed as small and petite and short.
Basically, this book would be good for anybody who enjoys the alpha male thing, and I’m certain that there are many people who would’ve eaten this up.
