Wisp of a Thing by Alex Bledsoe
1.0
Rating: 1 out of 5
If you’re in the market for a poorly plotted soap opera set in rural Tennessee with creepy sex scenes look no further! I present to you Wisp of a Thing! As a fair warning, both my patience and temper were hanging on by a wisp, and boy let me tell you, that wisp transformed into action as I threw my Kindle away in disgust as a supposedly heartbroken man goes down on a mentally ill woman with the cognitive ability of a child. The cherry on top being that she had already sexually assaulted him twice. Good grief where to start on this one? I have a tendency to rant and rave but sheesh, let’s not throw gas on the flames.
I really wanted to like these books, they had so much potential, and the author is truly a solid writer, their sentences and linguistic flow are great. Sadly, I cannot continue the book or the series. I’ve stopped at 51% and just skimmed the remainder. The plot is lacking, the characters are nauseatingly contradictory and flat, and the main ‘plot point’ is simply keeping the reader in the dark when dealing with all the world-building elements.
See my review of the first book for more specific aggravations, they continued in the second book unabated.
Plot: 1 out of 5
Setting: 1 out of 5
Characters: 1 out of 5 (if I could give a negative for this I would)
Writing style: 3 out of 5
Personal Enjoyment: 1 out of 5
