A review by fleurette
Wicked All Day, by Liz Carlyle
2.0
This one just didn’t work for me. I’ve previously enjoyed some other books from Liz Carlyle but this one is just not my thing.
The main issue is probably the plotline that I find really hard to get into and even harder to enjoy. I don't even think I can say what the problem is exactly, what I didn't like. It's probably a general impression. I feel like all problems result from the fact that the characters behave incredibly stupid. And instead of solving them in some simple understandable way, they are getting deeper and deeper into a series of foolish actions. And that always makes me roll my eyes.
However, the characters themselves are fine. Carlyle did a good job. If it wasn't for this idiotic storyline ... I could fully appreciate the complexity of the characters. Unfortunately, I couldn’t.
This is probably the first Liz Carlyle’s book that I did not like to such a degree. Maybe it's more my problem than the book itself because I'm still not able to fully determine what I had such a big problem with.
