Review: Story vs. Marketing Schemes
Rating: 3 out of 5

I think this series overall makes for  good book, but this business of authors charging a ton of $ for chapters escapes me.  At least I got five chapters this time vs. 2 for $2.99 but overall its a rip off.  Beth Kery has done the same with her series as well, and that was awful to pay $16 for 16 chapters.  With that said, I think this installment wasn't bad, but misleading.  Readers thought they were going to get the end of the story when in other words we have to wait for a new installment or book to finish Lucy and Jerimiah's story.  I thought a bit silly season that emotionally Lucy could so so quickly from being tied up by kidnappers to tied up by Jerimiah.  I don't know that I believe the tramautized mind changes gears that rapidly which makes that story line a bit not plausible to me and makes Lucy look like a stupid girl.  Not to mention she's in love in two weeks on the basis of sex and rescue.  I think Sara Fawkes has talent for sure, but these marketing schemes, directions, and focus need to be worked out so that the reader's focus ends up being the story.To all these serial authors, I'm done with buying chapters labeled as books priced as books.
