Review: "Drag on and on like some bad T.V. series that refused to end."

"Drag on and on like some bad T.V. series that refused to end." Yes, that is an actual quote from the last quarter of the book, and the irony is palpable for those who have read it.The idea behind the Mind Readers series is great. It oozes potential for fun and excitement- which is what kept me reading. I just kept thinking that eventually the author would stop talking in circles and the main character would learn from her mistakes and evolve a little. No such luck. Instead of developing any of the characters or their relationships the author just adds ridiculous, soap opera plot twists like long lost siblings, amnesia, people coming back from the dead after decades, clandestine love that has no rhyme or reason, and the list goes on, and on, and on. Which is much like the authors use of the same phases over, and over, and over. By the end of the book I was skipping entire paragraphs just to power through to the end.Bottom line: Lori Brighton is painfully in need of an honest editor and this series could have been condensed into one awesome, epic novel. Instead, I feel like I have wasted quality reading hours with little satisfaction.
