Review: Lost in translation, so to speak

Maybe it was the age or lack of description for the main character, but I never attached to the main character or comprehended what the story was going to be in The Child of Mystery: Chains of Darkness 1. It almost read like a long synopsis or extensive blurb without getting to any meaty storyline.If Melina had a special gift, it wasn't special enough to transcend with this reader.The more I read, the less impressed I felt. I always, always give authors a 2nd chance, but having this end as though the author simply stopped all efforts, threw in the towel and published it just to get it on bookshelves, soured me. I won't go read another of her novels and will return to good old dectective gumshoe, romance, Dean Koontz thrillers, and leave weird stuff on the back burner a while.I do try to read a variety of genres, but will stick to the norm for my next twenty reads.Maybe you will appreciate Eve Hathaway's other novels, so I suggest you closely read average reviews and absolutely read the novel's Sample before downloading. Good luck.
