My Review
I was looking for books on Amazon and saw this as a free one. So I took a chance since it sounded good.
Prince Daemon helped people and people thought of him as a savior while the Naqi family were murderers and the baddest of the bad kind of family. The Naqi family had tried to over throw Prince Daemon several times but always failed. Mariska didn't know what Prince Daemon looked like so when a vampire showed up and tried to talk to her, she just thought he was sent there by the Naqi family to kill her. It's not until her parents tell her who he is that she realizes her mistake.
Her parents have tried to help supernaturals which angers the Naqi family and puts them in danger. Prince Daemon offers to keep them all safe from the Naqi family but her parents go missing almost right away and then Mariska is kidnapped and then sent free to deliver a message to Prince Daemon.
The keepers were a legendary group of undead that knew all the secrets of the world and there was also a guardian but they were almost a myth because not many people knew about them. I was enjoying this story and then it ended abruptly and another book popped up after I turned the pages. This was called, The Bad Boy Meeting and I figured what the hell, I'll read a little and see if I'll like it. I read about 30 pages and just couldn't get into it at all.
I really don't like to start reading a book and end up having it end abruptly and then find another book when nothing about another book is in the description. The cover for this book made it seem like it would be a scary vampire type story but it wasn't scary or dark and needed more story before it ended. It was a bit of a let down since I was mostly enjoying the first story. I know there's a warning that this is a short story but the author could have at least made it a complete story. At least it was free and I didn't lose any money on this.
I give the first story a 2 out of 5 stars.
That second story was a DNF for me.
Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I suspect there was a good reason for it being a free read.
Sometimes even the free reads aren't worth it.
DeleteSorry this one didn't work out for you. Better luck with the next one.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Books of My Heart
Yeah hopefully the next one will be better.
DeleteThe old bait and switch. I don't like that, either. I like the idea of the first one, but too bad it wasn't developed enough. I've got several freebies that I need to get busy and read.
ReplyDeleteThe first one could have been really good.
DeleteWell, it lived up to it's price tag!
ReplyDeleteIt sure did.
DeleteI can see why this wasn't for you, how disappointing! Hope your next read is a better one!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteSorry it wasn't for you. I hate when a story lets you down. And to not finish the 2nd one meant you really didn't care for it.
ReplyDeleteI almost never DNF a book but it jut wan't for me at all.
DeleteSorry you didn't like them Mary and that cover is something else
ReplyDeleteThe cover really got my attention.
DeleteI hate abrupt story endings too. There's definitely an art to a good conclusion and it amazes me how many authors seem to just stop writing, especially if they have further series installments to flig ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just didn't get it at all. The first story could have been so good.
DeleteNice review
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Deleteah yes it's complicated for me too
ReplyDeleteYes, it sure was.
DeleteHe looks scary
ReplyDeletelol Yeah he does.
DeleteIt's too bad you didn't enjoy the books. At least you're not out any money.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true.
DeleteBummer the story wasn't developed enough and I see you ended up walking away from book two.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the first story could have been good too.
DeleteSorry about that. The cover does come of as dark dystopian vampires.
ReplyDeleteThe cover drew me in.
DeleteSorry about that … but always appreciate your review.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Sorry it sucked (get it? Lol). At least it was a free one.
