Hmm

3.5 stars.

As happy as I am that we figured out who murdered the biatch, I struggled a little with this one. It didn't have the same sort of feel as the first two but I guess things had to be a little darker in this one to finish off this trilogy story arc of the Royal's and Reed and Becca's story.

I am still very much in love with this messed up family and look forward to reading more of them very soon.

A Crime Against Passion
Another attempt by E.L. James to solve the global overpopulation crisis by putting people off the idea of having sex. More deeply uninvolving shenanigans between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey: will he win her back? Will she be able to make him commit to a proper relationship? And why the hell should anyone else care?

Very little discernible plot; mostly resembles a blandly aspirational soap opera, or possibly commercial for kitchen design. Scenes of rumpo are occasionally unintentionally funny, never actually erotic. Fifty Shades Darker? Fifty Shades Duller, more like.

When I initially flipped through Laon at the library, I thought it would be a much different story. I'm still glad that I read it, but the majority of book 1 was more on the "cute" side than I expected. It did change courses toward the end of book 1, when the action started happening. So, I am glad that I gave it a try. It's still worth a read since it goes fairly quickly. I look forward to reading book 2, since the story has gotten a bit darker and more complex!

A darker version of The Craft
For me, this series was a little more mainstream, especially following on from the horrifying second series. It was a little bit of a dated construct - a coven of young witches doing young witch things. Luckily we had the higher level witches fighting against their voodoo counterparts and witch-finders to add some originality to that. There was also a good amount of humour injected through the character interactions and different types of magic.
A good solid series, but not as dark and gruesome as previous series.
