Black Sheep by Brynne Weaver, Alexa Harlowe
Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
Cringy! This professor/student relationship is so awkward to me. After a few encounters and a night of drinking alone, Eli wakes up hung over and miraculously understands Bria’s distant behavior? He’s attracted to the “darkness” in her and sees all the mysterious expressions she makes as alluring? Yeah, sure super believable 🙄
Bri’s traumatic childhood growing up in a cult would be more interesting if there was more than 1 flashback. Also, could we get more perspectives? I think the intensity and mystery would be heightened if we had a 3rd unknown perspective/character who would eventually be revealed.
I almost feel like the story would be better in Bri and Eli did not have any romantic interest. Then the story could be more focused on their trauma, healing, FBi investigation, and finding closure about the cult’s manipulation.
The concept is kind of cool, but poorly executed. If you’re gonna have a mystery/dark romance, I need to feel tense.
