Disappointed, not charmed.

I like most of these charms,  but, as I emailed the source,I got a lot of lion heads and very small numbers of more usable ones (eg. hearts) and have never heard from them or Amaxon. I only received 36, not the 50 as advertised.

Oddly disappointed by this. Not by the writing per se, but somehow the characters fell flat and lacked depth. This made the story one reused idea after another. Charming in parts, yes, but not enough.

I wonder if length, the story seemed kind of short, could have added that depth.

I love a good paranormal book and had high expectations for this one but as sadly disappointed. First of all this book was unnecessarily long. There were some brutal dull spells. I'm actually quite surprised that I didn't declare this on a DNF. The romance was incredibly lacking. I didn't really care for either th hero or heroines character. They only seemed to bicker and throw insults at each other. Definitely not a sweet and steamy romance between these two. I'm glad this book was offered as a kindleunlimited but needless to say, it won't be a series I continue or a writers whose work I will follow

MILD SPOILER

Well, I love the first book, SWFS, and was looking forward to this book, but was disappointed. I really didn't connect with either main characters and didn't find the catalyst that outed them all that dramatic. Tracy was nasty and Brody was unapproachable and cold. These two just did not make sense to me and I really wasn't feeling the love between them. Furthermore, Mercy destroyed my love of Bo from SWFS because while I can accept him finding comfort with another when he thought Dylan was dead, I can't abide him gearing up to cheat and only Dylan interrupting stopped him. I found that, based on the love between them from the first book, out of characers for Bo and just contrived for this book, but the author knows her characters best, so I'm going to believe that I perceived Bo wrong in SWFS. Another thing with this book is that I found myself reading just to find out about Bo and Dylan and had no real interest in what was going on between the MCs which tells me the story isn't really good. This thought was further solidified when I immediately removed Sidelined from my devic while I still have SWFS on it. Of course, with my disappointment in Bo, that'll probably be removed soon as well. Thusly, I can't recommemd this book and will not be purchasing the 3rd book in the series.

Disappointed in the quality.  the charm looked cheap like a spare piece of metal throw in, not even attempted to smooth, and then stamped with some cheap ink.  My sister loved the thought, but disappointed gift

A story about witches with spells and such - not what I wanted and there was no indication of that in the descriptions. :(

Disappointing, not nearly as good as the earlier books in this series. It was as if the author was relying on the charm and plots of the previous characters and their stories to uphold this one. The end was a series of drawn out cameos of the old characters. There was not an intriguing enough plot or sympatico for the new characters in this book to flesh it out. I bought it expecting as good a read as the others books and was severely let down.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series is one of my guilty pleasures. Sadly, this installment did not measure up to many of the others. The Bitty storyline was predictable and slow. Plus, this is the second book in a row where there is too much tenderness for these characters. These are not warm, fuzzy stories and I don't enjoy it when the author tries to make these warriors, immortals, vampires, ghosts, and other fantastical beasts deal with regular human-like issues. That is not why I read these novels. Im hopeful that the next book will bring Marisol back and then I would really love for this series to end.

Not what I was hoping for. No spoilers, but not on par with her other work.

This was on the disappointing side. Having read all the books in the Curl Up and Dye series and loved them, I had high expectations for this series since it is set in the same world with lots of run ins from the characters in that series. Sadly, with the second installment in The Road to Blissville series, it just doesnt measure up.

My first issue is that there are so many overlaps between the story lines in the Curl Up and Dye series that there is a good chunk of events and information in this book that Id already read in that series. I think in this case, you just might be better off if you haven't read the other series first. For me, that made the first third of this book seem to drag because I needed something new (kind of the point in picking up a new book).

The other is probably more of a personal taste issue, but I strongly dislike stories with this concept of fated mates where the people have no choice. Dont get me wrong. I love all kinds of things that run to the paranormal and I don't even mind the general concept of fate, but when it is pushed to the point where it feels like all choice is taken away and it doesnt matter how a character feels about it, that is just the way it is going to be, I lose any kind of connection to the story. It pushes boundaries for me that are distasteful to me. This pushed those boundaries.

Because of how unwelcoming both characters felt about this relationship, it made it even harder for me to believe anything that happens emotionally, especially when you are suddenly getting the I love you bombs dropped and they know absolutely nothing about each other. When you have absolutely nothing to base those feelings on, I cannot find any realism in them. It just does not work at all for me.

There was so much energy and character and fun in the Curl Up and Dye series that this book (and the first one in this same series) is lacking. I was expecting at least a few touches of the same here, but you never get it. That is also a part of why this only rated as okay for me. I was just expecting more.

Disappointed with this one.  Sorry, Katt!  I guess nothing commpares to your Pimp Chronicle days!  This performance just was not a LOL type of event.  I still love you though!

I was hoping Sam's character will be stronger  on this book but I'm sorely disappointed. I also didn't like the fact that the story evolved around how she's sacred. It shows how weak and very shallow she is. She was not even sure if it's true. I really loved how Logan showed how he cared, it was intense that should have been explored or at least I've been hoping to see. The word I love you between Sam & Mason is overrated. I was hoping Mason will be an open book to Sam since this is the 4th book and all. Instead he still keeps a lot to himself kind of odd because he's the "talker" in the relationship. Otherwise I don't think there's a story to this book except of something that Tate said on book3 and uh the cliffhanger, not good....Creating havoc based on "that" suspicion. What was the deal w/Marissa & Masons's trying to separate the two? Seems to me Mason is getting away so easy w/all of the shenanigans he did from the beginning - the lying, and not telling Sam a lot of stuff that matters to his girlfriend. His professions of love is just off on this book. Mason is the romantic but Logan brought a lot of fun to the series. I love the scene where he offered Sam that he will be her everything. I waited so long for the final book and hey guess what not the final book yet. Of all 4, I think FCP is the only one worth buying. Don't get me wrong I love reading about the threesome fearsome, but I was looking for more development of Mason & Sam's character because I want to see their relationship solid. Hoping the last book exceeds my expectation and intense, better

I was bored after reading the first page. Even more so after only the first 4% of it. The writing seemed more amateur so I checked to see if I had read anything else by this Author and found I had not. So I am sad to say that I am very disappointed for I love reading things to do with Witches, Warlocks, etc.

I was disappointed by this novel. I had such high hopes after all the other books were so good. This one was a huge disappointment. Most of the interaction that we have seen between Dani and Ryodan was when she was younger. I was hoping that this book would show more interaction between the two other than what it did.

However, I loved the new spin using the old God's. It had me looking up information about Balor because it intrigued me so much. I didn't like that the battle with Balor didn't last longer, but that's okay because this book did open things up for future books. I really hope they are more like what we are used to. I wouldn't mind either if we got to see some of the other men find someone like Kasteo or Lor or Fade.

I also liked that you got a small glimpse at what Mac and Barrons are up to now and how things are still different in Dublin. I just hope the next book is a bit more like the others in the series.
