Divine Merit by Virginia Cantrell
3.0
I love a good 'ole paranormal romance book and reading the blurb to this I thought it would be great. I got hooked from page one but then it slowly got boring and predictable.
Princess is in love with someone she shouldn't want, tragic even occurs, bad person comes and does terrible things. The good people win and the Princess ends up with her love.
Even though it was quite predictable, I did enjoy it. I found myself wanting to read more, to find out where the story would go.
I have to say I couldn't connect to the characters which I think greatly effected my feelings reading the book. Amira was a Princess that everyone saw as young and naive and half the time she was. Going off and doing stupid things. She did grow throughout the book, but I just didn't like the way she was.
She had this need to prove herself and to be it only made her seem more immature.
While I liked the Royal Guard and some of the men had me laughing, I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't like Caedean. He just didn't connect with me.
I'm interested to read the next book to see where the author will take the story.
