A review by hayleybum
Then, Earth Swallowed Ocean by Shiloh Sloane
Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.
DNF at 31%
I’m not opposed to a dark romance and love a bit of werewolf too, so I thought I’d really enjoy this, but alas.
The story showed promise but I just couldn’t get past how flowery and poetic the writing is. I made it to 31% and felt like I should have finished it already, but the story hadn’t even progressed much. I just could not read about her scent being like honey suckle, brown butter, sea salt, etc. etc. one more time. And the taste/scent of her vagina was described in so much detail it was uncomfortable, and honestly indicative of some kind of bacterial infection.
Not to mention the constant mention of her bloody freckles!
I’m sure there are plenty of people who find this writing style absolutely beautiful, but I am not one of them.
