Mine Till Midnight
4 Stars
Entertaining but not as delighted and wowed as I wanted to be.
Even though Cam is deliciosuly yummy and an intense "hero in pursuit", and Amelia is a refreshingly realistic and down to earth heroine, I expected more from their romance.
While Cam and Amelia are both engaging as individuals and as a couple, their characters need more development. Cam's background, in particular, is not sufficiently fleshed out.
While they certainly have the steam factor in spades, Cam and Amelia's connection lacks the emotional intensity of Win and Kev's relationship (which is particularly compelling).
In terms of the plot, the ghost story is completely superficial and unnecessary, and the resolution to the minor suspense plot is anti-climactic. It also lacks follow up on the villain's comeuppance.
The secondary characters are engaging and the cameos by Evie, Lillian and their significant others are wonderful. The Hathway siblings are lovely except for Leo who annoyed the sh*t out of me.
Really looking forward to Kev and Win's story in the next book.
