Drink Deep by Chloe Neill

2.0

I technically have the next book in this series, but I don't think I'll bother reading it. I think I'll stop now. I liked Merrit and her crew, but the plots are just getting too ridiculous and predictable. I can only stand so many books in a row in which the supernaturally special heroine, who somehow bypassed being new and inexperienced and EARNING trust, struggles against the short-sighted and self-important bureaucracy. It's like no matter what else the plot involves, the megalomaniac leader who the good guys have to work around just gets changed out, washed and repeated. I'm bored with it now. And I think the author must even know the books were becoming overly formulaic. There's a joke about how the main character loves a series, despite it becoming just so.
