Dragon Marked by Jaymin Eve
2.0
The audiobook reader sounds like she's in Jr. High. It's kinda uncomfortable because the main character is supposed to be in college. Yet the college sounds more like high school. Bit Confusing it's one of those YA, New Adult grey zone which I'm not really all about. I read another book by this author hoping that this might be good. So far, it's so so.
Error the friends with the boy is childish, the nickname for the girl is dumb. Here friendship seems wildly one-sided. It's like instead of building character the author is obsessed with you know how much the guys care for the girl. On the upside in much later book of hers are good. Namely, the one about the rejected wolf shifter.
Besides the other issues using a character in an urban fantasy book who is frankly dumb is really annoying. It's repeated the same mistake for the advancement of the plot that knocks you out of the story.
I am thankful that the author's storytelling skills improved in later books. With more action a driving pace and a lot more on the plate. But that doesn't happen until around the 2019- onward book titles. Her writing skill in this book isn't bad. There's stuff to read it's not awful but there's also a deep sense of rejection because it's almost something worth reading and then it gets bogged down in things that aren't developed with interest. Like validation of the male leads the four brothers love is a validation of the female instead of simply character-building them as a pack and family as she does in later 2019 books. It's such a huge hole. When reading it felt like staring into a chasm of missing emotional intelligence.
