***********************NICUnurse’s Review of Honey Gold**************************

I was asked to provide an honest review for this book. Since it’s the second book in a series, I also read the first book, Emerald Green, in order to be up to speed on all that goes on in this book. In the first book, the author did a good job of developing the main characters throughout the book. Since it’s a romantic suspense story, she also did a good job of not giving all the backstory to the characters right away. The twists and turns were mostly page-turning, as well. Overall, it left me interested enough to read book 2. Unfortunately, I didn’t think book 2 was as well done. The main characters are the same, for the most part. There was an addition of only a couple of new characters, and that was a bit disappointing. The most disappointing to me, though, was the fact that the storyline seemed to just circle around to be more of the same story from book 1. I was hoping for more from this book than I got. There was also a part where the setting moves from Savannah, GA, up to Atlanta, GA. Now, I was born and raised in and around the Atlanta area. So when she had the characters go eat at The Varsity and then described it as a sit-down restaurant, the author nearly lost me completely. If you guys didn’t catch our live review last week, please take some time to listen in. We talked a lot about research. Yes, these are fiction books. But if you are going to be specific about anything in a book that actually exists, take some time to do your research. A quick 2-minute Google search would have shown that The Varsity is a fast food restaurant that has never been a sit-down establishment. It’s small details like these that will make or break a reader’s desire to continue with the book. It’s even more important in a series. You don’t want to lose readers after book 1!

 

Now, I will say that I believe this author has talent. I just think she needs to spend a little more time doing research, and I believe she needs to add something new to the storyline that is well thought out and well planned out. You want to see some fresh new faces and you want a bit more with additions to the mystery. At times it felt like a twist just didn’t quite make sense, either.

 

I hate to give reviews less than 4 propellers, but I have to give this a 3 propeller rating. It didn’t hold my interest like Emerald Green did, and at times, I had to make myself continue reading until the end. With that said, I’ve read another book by this author and liked it a little better. I think she’s got talent enough, if she’s willing to listen to advice from others, that we’ll see some 4 and 5 star works from her in the future.
