Going Dark

This review was written by Marie at Ever After Book Reviews: 3.5 Stars I have… mixed feelings about this book. The concept of the story was intriguing to me, so I was anxious to get started. I opened the book, and HOLY PROGLOGUE. Trust me when I tell you that you MUST read this slowly and you HAVE to pay close attention. It’s honestly the longest, most arduous prologue I have ever read. Seriously. From there, I delved deep into the story, hooked on Annie and Dan. Hoping with every turn of the page that their interactions would develop in to something more. But… then came the side stories. There was SO MUCH going on in this book, that Dan and Annie’s story (the main story) took a back burner, and I felt as though their emotional development toward one another was stunted, and made their “relationship” feel forced and unimportant. Now, I’m not saying that the sub plots weren’t exciting. They were. Perhaps they should have been saved for the next book? I suppose there will be some sort of resolution for them in future books, but they took away from what I really wanted, which was the meat and potatoes of Dan and Annie. Overall, it wasn’t a bad book. There was action and mystery. The book never had me bored. It was entertaining and I like the Lost Platoon guys. I just hope that in future books, the author doesn’t spend more time developing the secondary characters than she does the main characters. ***I voluntarily read a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
