Alright, I read the first two and even though they were bad, like 2 something stars, I still read the third. The way the FMC developed in book two, I had high hopes for a maturing author and storyline. It was so, so bad.

Nina is supposed to be a BROWN GRADUATE who grew up in the royal court. So you'd think she'd be intelligent and/ or recognize manipulation. Especially when it was written unbelievably obviously, like so obvious it only could have had "this is me manipulating you" written on a sign for MC to read for it to be more clear. 

This book is entirely dialogue, or the author telling you what the characters are doing. Every once in awhile there's a, "I have to hide my true feelings so I can look strong, even though I actually know all of my friends and my husband supports me and wants to help me, so really I'm doing this for no good reason because I just explained how I know better" inner dialogue/ feelings description, but that's as close to showing and not telling as we get.

Her three best friends are SIRENS. They haven't done a SINGLE magical or powerful thing even through book 3.

Her husband and his whole family are dragon shifters (the males actually shift) and we see it happen ONCE at the end. There is zero magic in the entire book except at the very end.

I'm convinced this plot and the setting was put together so the author had an excuse for writing out sex scenes and alutty looking outfit descriptions for her make believe Barbie and Ken. Which is fine, but why is it published. 

In case you can't tell from the review, I won't be wasting my time on book 4. Honestly, the ridiculousness of book 3 is on me, I should have known better.
