Celeste Achterhof (CelesteJak) - , reviewed on 3/13/2021 + 19 more book reviews

I did not get very far into this one because of the deplorable language. After the tenth f*ck in the first few pages, I had had enough. Now I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination and have been known to say that word on occasion but my goodness...it was in almost every sentence and added nothing to the story. Profanity can help in setting a scene or tone in the right place but when used indiscriminately like it was in this book (and the others in the series) for me it indicates a lack of imagination and a limited vocabulary on the part of the author. Neither of these are attributes that enhance a book. So in summary, it might be a grand book, funny and interesting but I will never know because I am not willing to plod through the muck to find the gold.
