Bk 2 of the Dance Series. Not as strong as JAH’s first 2 bks and it seems she’s lost a bit of that KA charm that influenced her first 2 bks which endeared them to me. Although I liked main characters Marianne and Ram well enough the first 75% of the bk just wasn’t all that exciting and I just couldn’t warm up to their story. After the 75% mark the drama picks up and it got a bit more interesting. It’s somewhat confusing since there are 2 separate series with all the same characters and this bk was written after those. This story goes back and forth between those two bks. For instance…(from Human Hieroglyphix) Leila’s makeover is mentioned and that Leila/Dex were apart/broken up, but by the end of the story they’re back together. There were a few others mentions of how this bk fits in between and around the first two. If a reader truly wanted to get a feel for all the characters and what’s going on, it would be best to read them in the order written rather than the series order. (Scratching head…) I think…like I said a little bit confusing. Kind of reminds me of R. L Mathewson’s paranormal series that overlap each other. Also JAH mentions her in comments at the end of the bk that when the a story comes to her she’s got to write what’s in her head at the moment, so I’m good with that.Looks like Crys/Gabe’s bk is up next, bk 2 in the Human Hieroglyphix series, that’s mentioned as having a tentative release date in early April. Also two new characters (Trevor/Zoe) are introduced near the later part of Tap Dancing that will be featured in yet a 3rd series which sounds like fun, Bewitchments (they own the towns sex shop), so lots more from this author to look forward to. JAH mentions she now has a team that she’s recruited to help her with error/typos, story pacing, dialog, etc which has seemed to refine her writing and come up with her own style as was evidenced in this bk. Tap Dancing had no typos/spelling errors than I can recall and if there were they weren’t noticeable. Although I was a bit disappointed in Tap Dancing I’m still intrigued enough to keep reading what comes next.
