Review: Too Much Extra Plot
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 17, 2013
That's a weird thing to say right?  But seriously, there's a whole bunch of plot thrown in that goes WAY beyond what's in the book description.  First of all, Louis has a mistress and she's seriously put out about Annabelle's presence, so she starts weaving this web of evil to do away with Annabelle... and then we find out that Annabelle's father is a serious villain and not just towards Louis but also towards Annabelle... and it all seems like the author was just grasping at straws to make the mistress and the father as AWFUL as possible (even if it became utterly ludicrous) so that Louis looked good by comparison.  Honestly, I would have rather just seen his character turn around on its own, due to Annabelle's sweet influence rather than having to deal with the suddenness of extra story lines halfway through the book (seriously, how many times can one woman be kidnapped / have her life threatened in the space of 20 pages?  A heck of a lot more than I thought possible apparently!).It was a fairly promising concept, but the extras that the author decided to throw in just really took away from the main storyline and from my enjoyment of the book.
