House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson
1.5
The book sucked so bad, on so many levels.
The premise and general set up were promising, which kept me reading way past the point I should have.
The writing felt super amature. The author kept repeating the same information in different words. At times literally gave the definition of a word she just used. Endless descriptions of platters of food which added nothing.
The pacing was all over the shop.
The plot was anti climactic and boring. The plot resolution was so straightforward I felt embarassed.
Zero development was given to the character relationships. Marion and Elizabeth had no chemistry whatsoever.
I came for a fun, easy read. I didn't expect a masterpiece but damn... this was next level terrible.
