Good ... but not as good as her other two

Another page turner from this author but it was easy to figure out Who Dunnit. Still enjoyable but not my favorite.

I'm a big fan of Lynn Austin - I LOVED the Chronicles of the King series and the Refiners Fire series!  This book was decent, but if you're reading Lynn Austin for the first time, she has some better, truly amazing works out there that I would suggest buying rather than this one.  I can't decide whether to give it 3 or 4 stars, but I will stick with 4.  I think I'm just disappointed it's not as excellent as her others, but it's still good.

This book isn't quite as good as the first two. As I've said before, there's not a lot to set this book apart from many others in the YA genre, but it has a refreshing lack of love triangle and actually has realistic relationship development. So kudos for that!

I did find this book very slow in the middle. See, when you have a book about teenage kids with magic and then take away the magic...you get a book about girls in boarding school. Not entirely, but still. Things just got a bit slow in the middle for me.

The resolution felt a bit lackluster, too. I can't put a finger on exactly why, but the 'big final reveal' wasn't very impressive or interesting, or even surprising. This book seemed a lot more relationship-oriented than action oriented, and I suppose I just got bored.

I enjoyed the first three books in this series so much that I used my monthly prime benefit to borrow this fourth book.  And I also enjoyed this book because I'm familiar with some of the characters, and I relish getting back into the wonderful world that this author has created.

This book, though, didn't please me quite as much as the others did.  I think it was because I just couldn't connect with the Heroine.  Ian, her love interest, was pretty well developed.  Fiona, however, just didn't get there for me.  Her character was not well defined, and I just didn't feel the romance between the two.

Which was a shame, really--because this one had a pretty good plot.  But I wanted a Heroine that was deserving of success, both in her career and her love life.  Fiona just didn't quite fit the bill, sorry to say.

I will, however, continue with the series because it was still a decent read for me.

I liked this book but not as much as the other two I have read by Kathryn Croft. The story line was good and as always the ending has the big disclosing twist but this one didn't have the suspense the other two had. I happen to love how she writes so I am a fan in general. I LOVED "The Girl With No Past" and "The Girl You Lost". This one is still hard to put down and makes you NEED to know whats going to happen but unlike the other two I found this one to be predictable. I wish she had an endless collection though! I would read them all.

Interesting read - not quite up to the quality of some of her other books.

So, I love this series and was so excited when I learned a 3rd book (Of Neptune) was coming out.  I made sure to let everyone know that I wanted it for my birthday.  I was so excited when my best friend presented it to me that it was all I could do not to just sit down and start reading it right then and there.  That being said, I do have to say I felt like this one was a bit slower of a read than the previous two.  I kind of steps into a different world as well.  This isn't exactly bad and in many ways made it very interesting, but I was not as thrilled with it as the first two.  Still, I will say don't give up on it.  It is still very much worth reading, especially if you enjoyed the others.

Georgiana goes under her mother's house and finds her mother's fianc's body.  This just wasn't as well written as the earlier books in the series.  I have really enjoyed the earlier ones and felt they were all 5's.  It was too easy to figure out who the murderer was.  Is she writing too fast or is she getting tired of this character.  I love Georgiana and the fact that she doesn't ever let her mother get her down.  I hope she continues thtis series and that the next one is back to her earlier level.

Loved that Dillon and Alicia were able to bond, I really enjoyed seeing the depth of their relationship. I love Levi and Alicia's relationship... He's attentive to her every need... Hopefully in the next book, they start their family! I hated Dillon in the last book, but he's mostly redeemed himself here.
The reason I gave this three stars is because this isn't her best work. I love the continuance of the Black family story, but this felt rushed and the whole Raven angle was weird. I think more attention should've been paid to the other plots in the story. This was decent, to pass the time.

I love Leeanna Morgan's books, this book was good. But it was kind of a let down where the other books were concerned. I think the other books in the series were much better.

This book had so much potential including a well crafted world, great back stories and my desire to love it from the beginning.  But it just didn't reach quite the same level as the other three books in this series.  Im unsure exactly why but this book didn't ring with the same clarity and realness as the others.  Sure the elements where all there but it didn't have the same cohesiveness and drive as the other books.

The main characters in this book we had met in Mistaken by Fate.  Will seemed to have lost his way in his own book.  Almost as if the actions he was involved in were not of his own choosing.  Sure there were moments when I saw glimmers of his uniqueness but he felt stiff and withdrawn in his own story.

And Penelope was a woman that I really didn't like in Mistaken and I never felt connected to her here.  She seemed to also waver between what she wanted, needed, demanded with a willingness to just roll over.  When she was determined and feisty was when she seemed herself.

Final Thoughts:  This book was well written but just lacked the special ingredient to make it outstanding which is very unfortunate because the rest of the series has been stellar.  So if you are looking for an amazing book may I highly recommend the first three books in this series.  And if you are as big a fan of Katee Roberts work as I am then you will enjoy this book too but don't be surprised if the main characters don't ring completely authentic.

A copy of Betting on Fate was provided to me by Entangled Publishing and nothing else was exchanged for my honest review.

...somehow not as riveting as the previous 3, and a lot of dialog and exchanges felt a bit dragged out too far...but still worth the read

While the book was good and does hold your interest I didn't think it was as good as some of the others.  I would recommend the book but would suggest some of her earlier books are better. It seemed to drag in places and I had a hard time deciding who was who and who was related to who.....

Loved the first two books in this series. This one was good as well. I think my reason for holding back on the stars is due to the plot of this book in comparison to the others. It just didn't read as compelling of a story as the first two. I found myself skimming at times, just to move things along. Again, it isn't that this book wasn't well written. It's just that I found the other two to be truly excellent and this one lacked that same riveting pace.

I'd give all the rest of her books 5 stars, I love them, and while this one is good, its not as great as it could have been. The overall story in the series didn't advance much, her love life became even more complicated, and the entire book seemed to revolve around the evidence pointing at her becoming a wereleopard, though as was said earlier in the series, she seems to be immune to actually having that happen. Its still a good read, I love all the lycanthrope info, but I missed the normal mystery to solve that just didn't seem to be present in this book.

I liked it but it was too drawn out for me and I felt there were some unnecessary chapters.  This book wasn't as good as the first two I read.  And when I read a series I don't like loose ends.  What happened to Greta?  Now he has a new love interest Anna?  I still have a lot of books to read since I'm reading them in order so we'll see.  This book is worth the read though.  It just wasn't a page turner and kept my interest like the first two.

I have read 3 of her books. This one is not her funniest, but still good. I will still continue reading her books.
