Kill the King by Elizabeth Dear
3.0
Meh- just ok at 3.5. This series probably could have been 2 stories instead of 3 since I feel like this one was dragged out. It could have been wrapped up sooner. Everything from paintball wars to a birthday party on a yacht was thrown in to show us their committed and sex filled relationship. Granted, 3 hot guys will want lots of sex and I have to point out that there was NO reprieve for her cycle, no monthly moodiness, etc. Even the after affects of anal were glossed over without mention.
And there was lots of schooling and homework since these are committed college students getting their degrees even though they have conquered the whole City and are wealthy beyond their fondest dreams. So- super realistic. The fate of the world rests in the inexperienced hands of 18- 20 yr. olds so belief was suspended.
Dom was great in this one:
"But I just wanted to make sure everyone was confident they could handle the dynamics of a polyamorous relationship.”
“Oh my God, Dom,” I groaned, feeling my face heat.
“It’s okay, sweetheart,” Noah said with a soft smile. “We get that our relationship isn’t the norm and has come together under… interesting circumstances. Dom’s just asking questions because he loves you.”
Zach coughed into his fist. “Kiss ass.”
I wasn't compelled to capture many highlights, so that says a lot. We meet Bennett's Mom, Zach's Aunt who plays a key part in the Shadows Org., say good bye to several people (die). Jolie's dispatch of Elise seems too much- if you read it you will see what I mean. It was way over the top.
How can these lovely, happy people be so sadistic and then lovely again? Whiplash I swear. I liked angry Jolie in the 1st book and the premise but the whole story failed to play out in the end.
Can I say how tiring it is for the "mean" girls to be so stupid and hurl the same "slut" insults over and over? They are so one note it's frustrating.
I have lots of ... questions. PEEVE: why does the author do... this. Why? Why do the pause almost every page?
