Review: Sweet Black Waves by Kristina Pérez

Sweet Black Waves by Kristina Pérez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review. 

I read this book a bit slower than I have been reading lately and that's because this story is a bit slow. I enjoyed the beginning and the end but that middle was a bit rough to get through. And honestly I was going to quit this series after this book because of that middle but that had me stunned so now I will read the 2nd book to see how things progress from that out of nowhere turn of events! 

Essie pisses me off. I can't say it any other way. I know she is young. I know she is strong willed. But she is a spoiled brat who is constantly whining about her life. I also think she is bi-polar honestly. 

And Branwen. She's like a doormat. She's letting everyone just treat her however they want to in the moment and somehow that doesn't bother her? She bending over backwards to babysit her cousin and no one seems to see the sacrifices she is making. It's really quite annoying. 

Tristan is a middle ground character. I like him, but he's overshadowed with my feelings about the two girls. I love how dedication and determination when it comes to Branwen. I'll be interested to see how eventing unfolds with those two.

So yes, I'm going to try book 2. But only because of that ending. Hopefully things will pick up enough to keep my interest until the end of the trilogy.
