<\/span>I was really looking forward to this book after seeing a lot of potential in the author’s first book (reviewed here in 2013<\/a> and 2014<\/a>).
\nUnfortunately it has the heroine suddenly act stupidly in a way that’s out of character in order to service the plot.
\nThis is absolutely guaranteed to pull me out of a story. It’s a personal pet hate and it seriously diminished my enjoyment of the book.
\nIt was nice to go back to Pendleford and I enjoyed Katie becoming the lead character (though I don’t get why she’s calling herself a Harper when she’s a Moore in the first book).
\nI would love to see the author try writing an adventure in a more overtly fantastical universe. The small town romance stuff is nice but is seriously threatening to get repetitive now.
\nTotally worth a read though. <\/p>\n
