Review :
My Review for “Under His Skin” by Stacey O’Neale leaves me in a conflict.
Let me explain my reasons. I usually judge the storyline and the writing but in this case there is a (for me) big discrepancy between those two that makes it difficult for me to find a suitable “star” rating.
On the PRO side – we have a very intriguing nice and fresh storyline that I truly enjoyed.
And on the CON side – we have how the author used this storyline.
One thing are the holes inside the story which may be easy to overlook but if I add the holes to the partly superficial way the story is told I really get a problem. In the beginning I tried to overlook that I was missing out very much on the depth of the character development. (This is really due to the intriguing plot – so you can see that it was really good)
I was hoping there would be an improvement during the story and really at like 30-40% into it I noticed a slight improvement that added a little depth. But then it became more noticeable that there were some holes in the plot which is what basically added to the superficial feeling I got.
And finally the way the “basic” problem was solved – that was supposed to be so huge… – well – the solution was there from the beginning on so looking back all the problems were “non existent” and I felt kind of cheated – not sure how to explain it without giving away too much.
I am sure many people will love the plot and it is not a bad book by all means – but the handling of the plot killed the fun for me even if this plot was really intriguing
