A Turn of the Tide
I received an ARC of A Turn of the Tide in exchange for an honest review. Ah, Kelley Armstrong. There was a time she could do no wrong. Lately I find myself less and less inclined to read her stories. In fact, I have not read anything since receiving A Twist of Fate last year. I actually bought one of her adult books, but it still sits on my bookshelves, untouched. The thing with Kelley's books is that she always pulls me in. Her writing is seemless, appears effortless and I want to be inside the stories with those characters. Not this time, though. The speech pattern felt bloated, clumsy. I realise that it was a different time period, but I've read historical fiction my whole life and I've never had that impression before. I recall thinking it with the two other books in this series, but not as much as this one. Maybe I also have less patience. I've come to realise what bothers me about the stories; they're all the same. Same headstrong capable female. Same broo...
