Restless Spirit, by Briana Michaels

3.0

let me start by saying that i have high hopes for this series as a whole, despite this book not being anything spectacular. the beginning of this book felt very wattpad-esque, and there are some flaws when it comes to grammar and just the writing in general. i think the author would have been better off writing this as a first person pov novel rather than third person pov. all of that aside, the relationship between sara and the boys had me interested from the start. the plot is a good one, despite maybe not being written in the best way. toward the end, there was a scene that should probably be tagged dub-con and just kinda left an overall bad taste in my mouth, but otherwise the spice lived up to the hype. all of the characters have distinct personalities and are taking steps toward character development, which is not always written well in RH but is done well in this book. MINOR SPOILER - the amnesia trope is also involved here, but not in a redundant “i don’t have any memories poor me” way. so far, this series is not one that stands out to me, but i’m hoping that the next two books are well written and the plot plays out nicely.
