Review: Odd, but Fresh Storyline
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 13, 2013
This is the first book that I have read from CL Sholey, and I'm not sure if I'll purchase another book in the future. It wasn't bad, just very different than what I'm used to reading. I was hoping to find a new scifi series that was totally different from the overdone "kidnapped by an alien" theme and in a sense I did. However, some parts of this book were just a bit too odd to find entertaining. I didn't really get "hooked" into the story or feel like I needed to finish this book in one night because there was no way I was going to put it down. I'm glad I settled my curiosity of this author's style, but I don't think that I will be buying anymore stories from this author because they don't fit what I'm looking for in a book. Below I'll list some good and bad points about the story to give you a better idea of what I found good or odd about the story. Maybe it will help you to decide if this author is a good fit for your recreational reading.**Possible Spoilers Below**-The Good:1) Very new storyline setting between H/H2) Alien features are new and fresh3) Descriptions are great and detailed, easy to visualize what is described4) Sets the scene for more books to come/series5) There is a bit of humor in the story that was fun to read through-The Bad/Odd:1) This alien is very different from human men physically and intimacy wasn't flawless (sounded uncomfortable)2) *Spoiler* Alien men were virgins. I prefer to have a Hero who knows what he is doing.3) Too much information to process. It is a new world and alien race, so there is going to be cultural facts introduced, but there were too many confusing points.Hope this helps. Happy Reading!!
