Trappin' Through The Snow by BriAnn Danae
3.0
This was my book clubs September pick of the month (well this and the sequel) and I have to say that if it weren't, I probably would have never picked this title up. While I'm not sorry that I read this book, it did leave a bit to be desired when it comes to depth of character, relationship development, and just overall exposition.
This book starts off with a quick introduction into the world and the situation that the Priest brothers are in, but then after that, as the reader, your kind of dropped into the middle of a story and it almost feels like THIS is the sequel and you should already know the characters and what they're going through. For me that just isn't enough. I need more than just knowing the Priest brothers lost their father or are "real niggas" to feel invested in what's going on in their lives. Add that to the fact that I am decidedly NOT a fan of the fluid 3rd person, omniscient perspective this book is written in, and I end up with just a MEH reading experience and investment in the characters and story.
There was a nice little twist at the end that wasn't really a twist at all because I called it, but I'll be interested in seeing how that thread in the story unravels.
