bookshelves: english, disappointment, dislike-the-main-female-character, includes-annoying-characters
So, I recently re-read the Dirty series and it made me think about trying another book by Meghan March and this was the first the Internet algorithm sent my way.
And I have to say that I'm rather disappointed.
There was a lot of similarities between the two series, to the point that I'm wondering if the author has a certain "template" a certain setting which she uses.
However, what I missed the most about this one was the easy readability the Dirty series possesses. I found it hard to connect with the main characters. Especially, Keira, she was seriously bordering on the unlikeable line. (Side note: I hated the nickname Ke-ke and I cringed every time I saw it.)
And maybe a bit ironical but I felt like Mount lacked a certain presence about himself on the page. Which is funny since he was supposedly portraited as a huge alpha male.
But still, I found him more tolerable than Keira. He's definitely an interesting character and I would be interested in knowing more about his past. However, if that comes at the price of Keira being there as well I think that I will rather pass on that.
Plus, the terms of their relationship really make me uncomfortable.
The cliffhanger/twisted at the end was rather unexpected even though it is a bit of cliché.
While there might be some things which I would like to know more about... I do not find this series worth continuing.
So, anybody knows good spoiler-filled reviews for book two and three?

😍 Aww, thank you. When I've been saying that I need more positive people in my life, this is what I meant not that 2020 kind of positive.
Aw sorry this didn't work out for you! Looking at my ratings I really enjoyed this trilogy although I can barely remember anything 😂Did you find some spoiler-filled reviews?
That's disappointing. I read the Savage trilogy by this author and Mount/Keira makes several appearances in it so I was considering on going back and reading this trilogy. I think I will pass.

Thank you. But that's just so me. I see a review for a book I also read and I'm so confused because I cannot remember anything about it. 😂
Unfortunately no.

But no, I just cannot recommend this one. I'm honestly considering taking one of the stars away. 😂
