Disapointed.  Rehash of old plot lines.

This series is not bad but is just a rehash of old plot lines with different characters.  It's kind of like Shannara's greatest hits.  Oh, I'm hooked and will download the 3rd book to save $.  But I am not going to loose sleep if I don't get it the day it comes out.

I have loved this series. I eagerly awaited Bened's book. However, this was just a rehash of most of the theme's from If He's Tempted. The crazy, power-hungry female villain willing to kill everyone in her way and the pox-ridden suitor, especially. The beginning and the meet-cute felt totally forced and there was little build-up. It honestly felt like Ms. Howell ran out of ideas for this book, and just cobbled stuff together. This was totally disappointing, because, as I stated before, I had been so excited to finally read Bened's book.

Terrible plot and worse than that boring. About the only good thing to be said is that it seems to tie up some loose ends in the time between episodes 4 and 5.

This will be the last book for me. Very disappointing, far too often reruns of old texts. Plot was contrived and could of been so much more. Evanovitch is recycling her earlier work.

Too much emphasis on boring detail.
All of the characters sounded exactly the same.
A real lack of foundation, lack of research. How does being young cure you of dog bite? Why would anybody want to be forty five when they could be twenty five? Wouldn't the FDA want to get just a little bit involved? And, um, wouldn't the police be just a little bit involved in the hit and run that starts the story? That was just a big, fat plot device.

I bought the book because I thought it was an interesting idea. I was very disappointed by the plot, the characters and the writing. I will not be buying the rest of the trilogy.

Too bored in he beginning to care about the rest. Too much different from past story lines to accept a prequel.

I really enjoyed the first 3 books, and maybe it should have been left at that. This book was very redundant. Yea we get it..they have a lot of sex, his has a big "package", they have issues.. but where was the story here? It was the same ole same ole.. nothing new. It gets very annoying to read 100 sex scenes and how many times can you read Angel or Baby girl. What was the point of this book? I hope the next one sums it up and doesnt take a year to come. Stick to 3. This 5 part series jist has nothing new to offer.

This book was not as engaging as the previous.  The cast is becoming to unrealistic and the plot predictable.  This will be my lastDark Series purchase.

It used to be a fun read but now the same story lines are over played and Reed as the main and "true" love interest is boring. I ended up skimming the book because reading the same sappy exchanges between Reed and Evie were absolutely unbearable. It is cliche and most likely only appeals to 11 year olds.

Not impressed with this re-make. The story line wasn't good at all, to much skipping around with no real segways.  I'll stick with the older version...

Book spent to much time jumping around and not following a good plot line. The Earlier books were much better. There is room for future books if written with a strong plot line

I was so disappointed to see almost the same storyline that was used in the first book. Just a few differences between the two.  Alex was also a horrible character.  I never would have stuck around as long as she did nor performed wifely duties each evening.

Too predictable.  A side from a few minor twists, there are few surprises.  The author seems to lack imagination.  It mostly reads like a retelling of numerous TV who-dunnits.  It felt too familiar, like I've been through this plot thirty times.

The last few books have gone downhill.  Too many side-stories going on at the same time.  I don't like the new characters nearly as much as the originals.  I just don't care about these new characters enough to continue with this series.

I have to say this was disappointing. Most of the script reads like fanfiction and is basically a rehash of the original books. There is very little that is original or creative. While the concept  of the plot was briefly interesting, issues were quickly resolved without making use of anything new within the Harry Potter universe. The writing is not complex or layered, possibly because of the screenplay format.  It is also ridiculous and childish writing to have most the main characters married, still in contact with another, and their offspring named after former favorite characters. I cringed reading most of this and would not want to watch it as a play.

It was a rehash of other books in a rather short and sweet retell.  Not up to the quality of books they are capable of writing.

Its hard to know what to say about this book that others have not already mentioned above.  In the first book, I really liked the concept, the characters, etc.  Towards the end of the second book, things were starting to go downhill. This book started downhill and stayed there.  The plot barely progresses and it seemed like about half of the book was wasted on new characters in order to set up something which may occur two books from now.  I'll never know, because I won't be reading them.

What does happen plot-wise, is barely worth mentioning.  The characters fall into cliched roles where the same thing happens over and over again.

Total let down.
