Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Devour (Unbreakable Bonds, #4) in Books

Jan 7, 2021

I gave the first 3 books in this series 5 star. But I read them one after another, whereas it's been a good 8 months or so since I read them and I'd forgotten a lot of what went down. I just remember the couples names.

This one, I struggled with from the beginning. I couldn't remember who Boris Jagger was or why Ian and co were so afraid/wary of him, and to be honest--brutally honest--I wasn't all that bothered either. I was reading it for the romance and since I couldn't really remember the previous books, I missed out on a lot of Ian and Hollis' back story. And then I started struggling some more, skipping sex scenes when I wasn't connecting with the characters.\

I did like some parts of this book, though. The Ranger bits in the forest/cabin were cool. The friendship and camaraderie between the friends and partners. I won't be reading the wedding book though.

Kudos

So a father leaves his kids-with a woman he's planning to marry- for a few days in a remote cabin. Just when his kids need him most(because their mother killed herself in the beginning) and goes off to work(at Christmas time). Somehow, he has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA idea just how mentally damaged/unstable she is. This movie eas a slow, tedious, mind-numbing burn that just fizzles out in the end(horrible ending). The acting was decent and the cinematography was too. It had creep factor, I'll give it that, but the story was just... sad. These kids go through hell through pretty much the entire film because of this psychotic ex-cultist and it ends up being their last days. You genuinely feel bad for them, but overall this was just a weird movie strangely pieced together that built up to....nothing. Her craziness wins out. NOT worth a watch.
