Again the first book in this series was better :( the book pace was so slow in parts that I got bored, it was just over detailed. Narrator is good and easy to listen to.

The writing is so unbelievably bad. Not just the repetition, things repeated verbatim over and over and over again. But the misspelling and sentence structure problems are prolific.

That being said, I'm going to read the last book in this series. Not because this author deserves it, or that my sanity deserves it. But because the world is actually interesting. It's too bad the author is so bad because this is a completely unique world and Harem.

So this book kind of irritated me. It dragged on and on. There was no sense of urgency despite the talks about how important it was to rescue Logan.
The book was repetitive when it came to the relationships. I would normally be all over that but I felt like the author had to dig herself out of the repetitive hole and put a sex scene in. She bites him on the shoulder and after all this time that's what causes him to lose his restraint. We get 3 sentences at best and it's over. Woooo... so disappointed.
The ferret. Why? I was tired of the ferret the last book and now we get to keep him. To add to some levity to the series? It was an eyeroll at best.
Edgar...I'm on the fence about him. I dont like how the mc flip flops and just almost uses him.
Sadie. Created to add some drama to the Edgar situation. It was kind of lame how she goes from wanting to kill the mc to wanting to fight and risk her life for her.
The MC herself didn't fit with how she was described. Especially in this book. She was initially written as the awkward loner who knew little but you never get that feeling in this book. In fact, she comes to conclusions and knows all the answers easily and suddenly at the end of this book. She is stupidly stupidly overpowered to where it's just boring. Everyone hates her because they are greedy and envious...gag. all this does is leave me not caring about fight scenes or anything in general because she will always overcome it.
And now the next bit. Characters are introduced and forgotten about until they serve a later purpose in the plot. Its irritating because I forget who they are supposed to be. The exception to this is Loulou and Lionel who I'm guessing are existing to be the mc's friends outside the guys. They exhibit all the traditional cliche qualities of said friend and her boyfriend.
All in all...I expected better. Much better. It was kind of a disappointment.
