Gold by Raven Kennedy
3.0
I started this series because I was intrigued by the King Midas’s retelling and I loved the last two books in the series. However, this one got derailed from the original plot.
Spoilers Ahead:
I already knew Auren and Slade are going to be apart in this book but I didn’t expect to happen it for the whole book. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Auren standing on her own but there was NO reason for it to be for an entire book.
I enjoyed unhinged Slade in his revenge ride but at a point where 60% of the book was about avenging her. This book has opened up so many plots that I don’t know how the author is going to sum it up. I understand it suffers from the filler book syndrome but this was way too long than needed.
Also, the romance between the OG couple was non existent in this book whereas, Malina (not sure to hate her or like her) had an insane chemistry with the Assassin.
The ending I think created more problems for the characters than solving them to wrap it up in the next book. In next book Auren won’t remember Slade and the story starts again. I feel like this book dragged a lot and I don’t know if I’m invested enough at this point to continue the series.
