Thank you to the publisher for a free netgalley of this one.
Ok. I really liked When I am Dead , which is part of the Black Harbor series by this author. So when this one was on Bookstagram, I got excited and was just as excited to be granted a copy.
But I felt there was almost way too much going on here. Maybe it is because book 3 in the series was my initiation for lack of a better way to say it. I did not realize it was a series with overlapping characters. But again, I just felt meh about this one.
Kole and Hazel are in what I would call the Carrie/Mr. Big relationship. So many people are cheering for it, but man was it a toxic relationship. Their characters, in my opinion, had ZERO chemistry. None. Hazel, who has clearly been through enough, is not ready for a relationship in any way. SO the way her and Kole go back and forth through this book was actually annoying. I felt it slowed the plot down and brought nothing to the table.
With all of that being said, I love the setting and the core team of these books. The backdrop is well written, and I love the author's writing style. This plot line for this specific book just felt way to overloaded with the relationship of the two main characters.
