Review: 3.5 SECOND HALF TEAM Stars
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 01 17, 2014
We've all heard the phrase "2nd half team" when talking about pretty much any sport. You know the team that comes out in the first 1/2 of the game and plays ok but not really hard enough to win. Then they come back in the second 1/2 and own the other team. Well, this book is a lot like that.The first half is a lot of Merrick just describing how depressed he is since Amelia just up and left him, after a whole weekend of apparent perfection. I just wasn't feeling Merrick as much here as I did in Running From Forever.It wasn't until about 45% in that things picked up. I think it was important to have all the secondary characters come into play to really bring the story alive. The reasoning for Amelia just walking away from Merrick were explained clearly and that pretty much dominated the second 1/2 of the book. Lots of drama, suspense and action.This wasn't really the type of book I usually enjoy and it didn't blow me away but it wasn't bad. It was just ok for me because of the plot, it just isn't something I'm into and it seemed a little over the top at times. The writing was good and I think a lot of other readers will really enjoy it.*I received an ARC from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review
