Jack Jordan has done it again! Before Her Eyes is without doubt yet another powerful and dark story. “She often thought how much better off society would be if everyone were blind and incapable of making judgements on a person’s appearance.” Definitely not the reading experience I was hoping for, and I’m not sure if I want to read the final book after this (although I probably will just so I can cross off another series on my list). Basically, she’s mostly hiding out in the countryside and nothing much is happening until the end the plot felt weak compared to the first book.

My main problem is with the tremendous overdose of romance and lack of a proper plot. It’s not the sarcasm, because that kind of humor almost always hits the mark for me. It’s not the writing, because I still liked it. Instead of being entertained, I found myself to be mostly frustrated and just wanting to get it over with, not caring about the outcome whatsoever.

I really enjoyed the first book of the series, so when I was browsing proper Halloween themed books I thought about Demonglass almost immediately. One little thing, and you feel like you’ve lost that person all over again.” You think you’ve accepted that someone is out of your life, that you’ve grieved and it’s over, and then bam. Time for another round of Yvo’s Shorties! This time a YA fantasy sequel that was an unpleasant surprise for me and a very satisfying psychological thriller by an author I always seem to enjoy. 2023 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.2017 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.
