Seriously, what is wrong with me? Joan Swan is THE WORST AUTHOR EVER....why did I buy her 2nd book Blaze when the first book was SO TERRIBLE?!?

Paranormal suspense is a fine genre...as long as it's combined with some romance. Or maybe a lot of romance. A good run of steamy hot sex scenes makes a paranormally-enhanced hero that much more desirable.

Swan writes NO ROMANCE. Zero, zip, zilch, nada. Not even an illicit kiss between characters. Sometimes they briefly think about how the used to be hot for each other...but that's about it.

She gets SO bogged down in nitty-gritty fight scene trauma military maneuver details that her books COMPLETELY LACK A PLOT. They just move from one detailed OH-NO edge of your seat trauma to another. YAWN.

B-O-R-I-N-G.

Even skimming & reading the last chapter didn't matter. I still didn't care. $15 I'll never get back...and an hour of my time wasted. She's going on my NEVER READ list...she's not even worth a free swap.
