Personal Demons

2 stars for a series that gave me the methapor of an abusive relationship, but both stars are for the potential that the story setting had and wasted

This series was like a metaphor of an abusive relationship for me. The beginning half gave me a great time and i was ready to fall head over heals for this series. But then it suddenly took a turn, characters changed their personality so suddenly it left me reeling.
But I was having such a good time! Maybe it will get better? No, I'm sure it must get better! I know how much i liked the ml's during the first half!

And so the spiral begins.

It gets a bit better, letting you hope. And then it gets worse again, maybe worse than it was. But the author shows you that it can get better and so you hope again. You hope and you wait...And then it does get better! But only shortly, and then it spirals down down down once more.

At the end of book three I managed to break myself out of the spiral and I was not happy with the time it took me.

The second star is for the great potential the story had. I really liked the world the author presented and having read Darkly Ever After right before this I was rather excited despite the mixed reviews.

Absolutely loved this.

The tension between Frannie and Luc is sizzling, and Gabe merely ups the ante.

Nice twist at the end, hanging out for the next installment.
