Review: Didn't keep my attention

When I started reading Tales of Aradia I was instantly captivated.  The beginning is exciting as the death of the witches begins.  I got caught up as the last witch is transported from her time to our time.  A young couple is driving when they see a flash.  The man climbs out of the car to go investigate.  When he finds a tiny baby, the couple's whole world changes.  I read this story with excitement for awhile, until I hit about 60% way through it on my kindle.  Then it got boring for me.  The dialogue was too much, the characters lacked depth for me.  I felt confused by who was who and why they were important in the story.  I felt like some of the scenes were drawn out and unnecessary for the main plot.  The plot of the story felt like it wasn't going fast enough for me.  The murder was interesting in spots.  I really enjoyed the scene that the author described when Aradia is "seeing" the murder.  It felt well written and exciting.  I felt like this story was hit and miss for me.  I made myself plow through it cause I really love supporting Indie authors.  I feel like if this author removed some of the slow scenes it could be an excellent story.  The idea is good!  A couple times it felt `Twilightish' as a vampire and a werewolf both liked her.  I would give this book a try, you may like the long dialogue, who knows.  Plus, supporting a young author is a great thing to do!
