I Can't Believe I Read The Whole Thing. I Want My Time Back
Nightchaser - Amanda Bouchet

Scrambled, abrupt plot drops, character black holes, unbelievable characters. (possible spoilers) -This started out really good. I loved the action, the mystery man, the ship the mystery. At about 15% everything went wonky. The books is filled with cliches and I saw the big moments coming from the very beginning, no surprises These people are running for their lives, they are escaped prisoners with bounty's on their heads they can not trust anyone. Too bad the story didn't stick with that little detail. Then the "big guy" (yes that was his title) who was introduced and seeming to have a major part just vanished from the story. Okay, I was thinking he'll be right back with some trick to get them going on to the next level right ? No, it's didn't happen till the end, (the end !) when he just popped up again out of the mist and was accepted back into the fold. The MC the most wanted of them all, is so wishy washy, she trusts no person, then blabs her whole story to a complete stranger she just met, and wants to do business with. Then she takes a shower in this strangers house ! What ? Okay she's dirty, water is tight on the ship, something mentioned so many times, but really? You are in so much danger, wanted, hunted and you take a shower in a strangers house ?  Wait there is more. She steals a dangerous super solider vaccine, and finds out it's made from her blood. So because she's a super special girl she can drain herself almost dry to make a fix it for some sick kids. The story goes from this super solder vaccine to sick kids with whiplash speed. The vaccine that can cause war/death/destruction suddenly becomes almost forgotten in the story, it's all about saving these orphans, yeh orphans. I could go on but I think you get my feeling on this one. What happened ? I had this author on my top 20 list, this doesn't read like her work at all. Her last 2 books declined in quality this one dumped. I'm done and will not invest in her writing anymore.

Too Much Action, Too Rushed, Not Enough Story
Blood Burn - J.E. Fletcher

The book had some semi funny bits but then ruined them with ridiculous dialog, stupid rambling nowhere plot line and so many abrupt character mood shifts I was left shaking my head. The story had vampires, werewolves, zombies, hybrids, humans, evil government agency, religious zealots, TSTL women, demon dogs, back stabbing, sexual desire, survivalists, and even some red necks. There was just too much going on with to little behind each moment. It was like being in a tornado, having all these fast things thrown at you and you have to hit them away then Bam another different one comes at you and..... it just kept going, rambling on unfocused on any one factor for more than few pages.I tried to like it, I really wanted this to be good. I read through the night waiting for the story to filter down to a few main points. I wasted my time. The book ended as it started in chaos with a abrupt ending that left me relieved to have it over with absolutely no interest in continuing to the next book.
Sadly I just didn't get the book.

 

I requested this book after seeing all the 5 star reviews on goodreads and Amason. I am confused. Did I read the same book ?
