Disappointed
Considering how much I LOVED Bk 1 (the Honeymoon Cottage) this one was just disappointing.
For 1. The romance and character relationship happen at the drop of a hat and therefore felt like the author realised halfway that “oh these two are supposed to be in love”. There was no build up. No foreshadowing. Just nothing. One minute they were strangers, the next they’re kissing and in love. No hint of even a little bit of emotion until over halfway.
2. The main female lead flip-flopped between too stupid to live and bad-ass I could get behind. It was disorientating, inconsistent and gave me character whiplash. And don’t even get me started on the weirdness around the seizures. They just seemed bot quite real. I felt like narcolepsy would have been more appropriate.
3. The only character that really made any sense was Great Aunt Zee and that may just be because she’s a reoccurring character from bk 1.
Overall this book (and it’s timeline) was a mess from start to finish. I could see the story the author was trying to write but what I read fell flat and had so many holes in it Swiss cheese would be envious.
I felt there should have been more foreshadowing. The baddies should have had more time to be developed. And more should have happened overall. This was a disappointing entry in a series that otherwise had me interested in buying the other books, but now leaves me wondering if I should even bother.
