Review: Overly wordy books can be Toxic

As a fan of the Celestra Series from the beginning, I absolutely love the way Ms. Moore writes. I enjoy her descriptions of people and places. Toxic was another wonderful example of her writing talent. However, all compliments aside,lots of great description doesn't go far when there was no meat to this book. It was lengthy, thanks to the plethora of sexual thoughts/conversation over and over. The first part of the book had me banging my head in frustration because of how many times it was described how Gage did Skyla wrong, deceived her, ruined their "forever". I honestly don't think much progress was made with the plot.The war leaves a lot to be desired. It feels more like low-budget action thrown in for a split second between all of Skyla's incessant thoughts. In my opinion, Skyla runs from one guy to the next and even though she isn't sleeping with them (though she has had thoughts about all of them) she seems incredibly slutty. I've stopped liking Skyla as a lead over the last few books. I think this series could have been wrapped up in 4-5 books easily. Most definitely Toxic could have been narrowed to one part if some of the lengthy detail would have been omitted.
