The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso
1.0
As always, thanks to Hachette Book Group and Orbit for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC!
My heart is heavy...this will be the 2nd book I have ever DNF'd. I trudged to the 50% mark but I just couldn't do it anymore. I set this book down twice to read another book and I never do that. When I thought about picking up this book for the 3rd time, I realized I just didn't care what would happen in the second half.
Kembral is a field agent in a magical equivalent to the CIA. She had a baby two months prior and her first night away from the baby is for a company party...that ends up turning into a job.
She is CONSTANTLY (and I mean like every few pages) complaining about how tired she is from lack of sleep after the birth of her newborn (yea we get it, now shut up and be the a** kicker you are suppose to be).
The house the party happens in is under a thin layer of reality. There are 12 layers of reality and as the story progresses the house slips further and further from the reality they know as their prime reality. As the house slips into a different reality, the same things happen over and over and over AND OVER just a slightly different setting. I was so bored reading essentially the same thing each chapter.
There is just no way I was willing to keep reading the story to continue to read the same thing with the only progression being the enemies to lovers romance that was tossed into the mix that should have been left out.
