Oh. Well. What can I say? I finished this over a week ago and am just now reviewing it. I was going to review it my usual way, detailed, and I kept waiting for the right time. But there is no right time. I want to forget about this as soon as I possibly can.
This book (and the previous book in the series to a lesser degree) is a prime example of why an author should stick to single books. Unless an author has PROVED themselves capable - stay away. Being on some no-name best sellers list does not prove you capable. Even some authors who have proven themselves to their audience don't have what it takes. Why would you?
This is awful. Worse than awful. My copy is riddled with check marks because I didn't want to forget something when writing. The biggest shame of all is that the first book, [book:The Millionaire Mistress|95685]? It's good. It's actually good. So if Montgomery's goal here was to write a decent book, hook some readers, make some quick cash from the rest of the series and then be done? Congrats. You did it. (Well, not here because I wouldn't have paid for these if a gun was against my head but others did I'm sure.)
Oh hell, I have this atrocious mess right here so I'll include some of what pissed me off.
Let me start with where I left off in my last review - 'Mye Storie' is a name used for a character. Yeah. I'm dead serious. I suppose it's meant to be clever. Ha.
The whole crazy scene with Oshyn in the beginning (around pg. 37) could have been a lot better. Montgomery did a better job than Antoinette in The Prada Plan but this still left much to be desired. It was flat, it was a lot like playing an imaginary game with a toddler - you know what'll happen before the toddler. Doesn't make for a great read to say the least.
Okay, well, the will to review this just flew out the window. I'll say this - I just counted 27 check marks. I check the page when there is a "bigger" mistake or something stupid. Meaning that the smaller mistakes, smaller stupid things are let go. Otherwise the entire book would be one big bent check. So, there are at least - at least - 27 fairly big mistakes/fairly huge stupid things in this book. I kind of wish I felt like telling them because some of them were downright hilarious. But I don't want to spend my evening with this book - enough time was wasted.
Like urban fiction? Read the first, skip the next two and do the same with every other 2+ book series out there until the author has proved themselves to you. It's the only way to go.
I also wish to note that I'd give this a half of a star if I could - it doesn't deserve the 1 I have to give it.
