Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dark Dates (Cassandra Bick Chronicles #1) in Books

Jan 12, 2021

I struggled with this from the beginning. I'd finish one of the short chapters and put it down for days, not at all interested in picking it back up again. Then do the same again a few days later. Until last night when I just decided to give up. It wasn't working for me. Over two weeks I've been reading this and I wasn't getting anywhere.

It may be that my taste has changed from my recent obsession with Paranormal/Urban Fantasy and back into Contemporary Romances as I've just read entire backlog of books pretty much back to back.

I may attempt to read this again at a later date when my taste changes back to paranormal

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Shadow Game (GhostWalkers, #1) in Books

Sep 5, 2019

It's taken me forever to read this. I struggled with it from the start. I've drifted from my love of Paranormal Romances into Contemporary Romance and Urban Fantasy Romances so this just seemed too focused on the romance side of things. Sounds strange, I know, considering that's all I read but...I just couldn't get into it.

The writing seemed so old fashioned in the chemistry/romance parts. It was written back in 2003, when I was 12 and I would probably have loved it back then, but I'm now 28 and I prefer a more modern wording to my romances.

I have a few more paperbacks from this series but I'm not in any hurry to read them.
