I can well understand why you can't get along with the paranormal romance genre, it's such a formulaic sort of genre in my opinion and plots do not vary very much. No problem that you couldn't muster up any enthusiasm, I couldn't muster huge amounts myself. I gave it a four on Goodreads but now feel it should have been a three... it's really a three point five book.<br /><br />Now reading an Agatha Christie myself oddly enough, Hickory Dickory Dock, a Poirot novel, and it really is excellent.

I might manage to get through one if especially asked to by an author or publisher, but I think I would have to declare my ambivalence about the genre up front, and let them decide whether they would still like me to represent them!<br /><br />Agatha Christie, or Margaret's Ian Rankin, are definitely much more up my street, with the odd piece of traditional historical or contemporary romance thrown in for good measure!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing though and sorry I couldn't muster up any real enthusiasm for this one. Happy Reading :)<br /><br />Yvonne<br />xxYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-89235437526899664072018-10-09T10:44:25.532+01:002018-10-09T10:44:25.532+01:00Margaret: The book was fine and at no point did I ...Margaret: The book was fine and at no point did I decide I didn't want to finish it like the first time. But really it was no different to other paranormal romance series, there's a certain formula they follow and this followed it very precisely. It's not my preferred genre either, if I want paranormal I would probably read a Charlie Parker book by John Connolly, those are paranormal crime and quite hard hitting. I'm so interested to hear what you think of this book, I really am. I'm back to crime now and enjoying Hickory Dickory Dock by Agatha Christie. So clear that she used her experience as a dispenser in WW1 to write this one. Really enjoying it.

But I will get back to A Discovery of Witches. I'm glad you enjoyed it and from what I've read so far I can see what you mean about wanting a tiny bit more.Margaret @ BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.com
