PARANORMAL ROMANCE

Cliffhanger: I dunno

Paranormal romance is one of my favorite categories in the whole genre. There are so, so many great reads there—books that I’ve read and reread so many times it borders on obsessive. But sadly, it’s also the category that I find it most difficult to find new reads in. For every great PNR read, there are 5 craptastic ones. I open each new-to-me series with equal parts excitement and dread. Will THIS be my next binge read? Will THIS be the next series that I pimp to my followers until they get sick of hearing me talk about it? But it’s with a heavy heart that I tell you that Tall, Dark & Deadly didn’t make it to my keeper shelf. I had LOTS of problems with this one. ​

I’m going to start off by saying something that might not be a popular opinion among authors. (Shocking that I’d be part of the unpopular opinion crew, huh?) I often prefer indie authors to those who are traditionally published. (Gasp!) Why? I believe that often (not always, because absolutes are crap) that all the gatekeepers that stand between the author and the public when books are traditionally published (the agent, the publisher, the editors, the cover designer) take something away from the original work. By the time the reader sees the final product of a traditionally published work, it’s a watered-down version of what the author originally created.

I’m going to gush a little about this one, y’all, so be patient with me, OK?

First of all, I’ve loved this author since I read Nice Girls Don’t Ride. I ADORED the first book in this series, The Ones Who Got Away. So when I saw this book on NetGalley, I clicked and begged for a copy faster than I’ve ever clicked before. I was expecting greatness, so the potential for disappointment was high. But it was even better than I expected. (Squee!!)
