Review :
When I found âWastedâ the first book in Morgan Blackâs new series âA Dirty Boys of Chicagoâ I was a little unsure if it would be a book for me.
In our Blog we have certain reading specialties and âMobâ books are usually more Laurenâs than my âThingâ but the Blurb had this Bad Boy flair about it so I thought I would try it.
And basically I was not wrong.
This book has on its Pro side a lot of bad boy vibes and while I could not really connect with the female lead â the connection with our bad boy lead was perfectly fine (#wink) â¦
But the con side of the book also weights heavy â while I thought I might have an issue with the mob subject â which turned out totally fine against my expectations. My problems came from a totally different side. It was the pace of the story that was off.
The story is missing a constant flow. At times the story runs like hell and at others it just drags on. And the reader feels like ends just do not meet up.
If I add that to the total Insta love feeling that is floating above the whole story I cannot help but only give the book 3 stars.
Still it is an interesting start in a promising new series â and as I have seen many series turn out totally fine even if their first books had hick-ups â I would not be surprised if this series would be one of them.
