Review: predictable

The concept intrigued me, but the execution was a bit disappointing. I found it amateurish and too fast paced. There was no build up or much of a world-building intro at all. Instead, the reader is dropped almost into the middle of a story (or what should have been the middle anyway) and then the main event happens and there's no suspense or anything. I wish the whole dream mates story arc would have been fleshed out more and I think it would have been more interesting if Marek & Jace hadn't met face to face 5 minutes into the book. The dream communication is what intrigued me in the first place and we don't get much of that at all. Honestly, the most interesting point of the story involved two secondary characters because everything else was so predictable and a bit on the same-old same-old side in terms of being mates. Based on the events of the book, I assume this is the start of a series. I hope any future books have more detailed plot lines and more depth in terms of dialogue, world-building, & character development.If this book appeals to you, maybe it to see if there is a price drop because it is a novella and therefore kinda short.
