The Missing Sister, by Lucinda Riley
3.0
I found it increadibly frustrating how dragged out this book was, it was as if the author wanted to make it as long as the other books, but went about it in the wrong way.
In the former books the stories were long, but it made sense, it took time for the characters to get the information. In this one, she kept dangeling the information we wanted right in front of our noses just to snatch it away several times, its obviously done to create suspence, but its done wrong, it just made me angry. And when we finally got the informations she kept snatching away earlier they were
anticlimatic, because the information was much more trivial then hinted at.
Also, this book made me angry with the characters, it was as if she sacrifised the characters to move the "plot" and to try to get them all involved, wich again was done wrong. I get what she wanted to do, but i feel like she rushed out an idea, and then kept with it when she rather should have made some big changes.
