The Only Purple House in Town

I read Strange Love about a year or so ago and I loved it, it's easily still my favorite Ann Aguirre book, and in contrast this book just really let me down. About 70% of the way in I started skimming, and a chapter after that, I started skipping forward while reading a sentence every once in a while to get a vibe. I was initially thinking about giving this book two stars, but when I really stopped myself to get an idea of what I liked about this book, I realized I didn't have many if any good things to say. I just don't think it's for me. I found the love interest a bit creepy at the beginning, and once he begins to develop and work through his creepiness, I instead found him boring. The idea of a hawk shifter didn't really capture my eye, I just can't find a man who turns into a bird attractive. I don't like how late the MC's backstory is explained, it almost feels like it was shoehorned in. I think more than anything, I found this book boring. As said before, it definitely wasn't for me.
