3.0

I felt bogged down in a couple of books (This Other Eden and A Separation) so picked this up as a palate cleanser and for the dopamine hit to bang out the other/s. Jewell for me is kind of like that piece of cake you know you shouldn't be eating: you enjoy it at the time but are left with at least mild regret afterwards. I always kind of enjoy her characters but her plots are pretty outlandish and often there are zero consequences to actions.

e.g. In this one Saffyre gets in no trouble at all for wasting police time/resources and causing her brother/guardian stress and anguish.

In the acknowledgements Jewell says she does no research and takes no editorial input during the process of writing and I was like, Yeah lady it shows. But then I keep reading her books so?
