Under Your Spell

This probably would have gotten an extra star if it hadn't been for the ad nauseum mentions of how much of a whore Saint was. I get it; he is the town bicycle. I got it the first dozen times it was brought up. I didn't need to be hit over the head with it over and over again through the ENTIRE damn book! And of course, Chloe had basically no sexual experience and never had an orgasm...sigh. When will authors stop writing this cliché trope (the uber whore and the innocent)?





However, those issues aside I DID like the overall story. I loved the setting. I thought the plot was unique. I loved the side characters (even if they were all whores as well). It was a quick read, but not an overly sexy one. I think the relationship between Saint and Chloe had potential but lacked the fleshing out to give it the depth it needed to be believable. Perhaps if less page space was given to everyone's OTT sex lives the author could have used the space to build a better connection between the main characters? The ending was super rushed as well.

I don't know; it was decent for the most part. I am curious about the other characters and their books, but I hope the author takes the sluttiness of the characters down about a hundred notches because that is really what brought my rating down in this one. We will see I guess...
