Review: Wonderful preview, but price prohibitive
Rating: 4 out of 5

I didn't realize the "free preview" was only part of the novel, and that the publisher would ask me to pay $9.99 to read the rest of the book.I thought the preview was terrific. I have not read Cole's adult novels. And while I agree that Evie is a fairly weak and whiny character, I sort of liked her anyway. It's not like it's her fault that she's sort of useless. Maybe I like her because I work in mental health.Jack, on the other hand - whoa. I really, REALLY liked this character. Jack is the reason I would read on. I haven't read a Cajun Basin protagonist... ever. I thought the way Cole handled Jack's Cajun speech was really well done. Sometimes dialect spelled out is annoying, but Cole pulled it off by only phonetically spelling a few select words, and it worked for me.If the full kindle edition was cheaper, I would buy immediately and finish reading this book. What I've read so far, I've loved. But, it turns out, I have 114 unread books on my Kindle that were all significantly cheaper than the Poison Princess Kindle Edition, so I'll have to read those first and wait for this one to become available at my library. Bummer. Shame on you, Simon & Schuster.
