Book Reviews of Blow Me Down (Signet Eclipse)
Book Review: A Sad Disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars
While I am a fan of Katie's, this book left a sour taste in my mouth. I mean, come on, a pirate story set inside a virtual reality game? This one wasn't for me. I had a better time reading Once A Pirate by Susan Grant. While I like some stories set with a pirate theme, this one was a let down. I was so disappointed, I returned the book. I am picky when it comes to my books and my authors. I like something I can sink my teeth into, and when I didn't get Katie's usual virve from her characters, I'm almost hesitant to buy her next book.
Her heroine, Amy, is an overworked mom with a teenage daughter whos a financial consultant. She doesn't know how to have fun! Amy's character came across as a stick-in-the-mud, prudish ninny and the 'hero' (I use that term loosely) was a bit too whiny for my tastes. I mean, I know characters have to have flaws. It's what makes them more real for the reader, but his insecurity issues are way too much. Don't get me wrong. He had his good points, but not many. Another thing I didn't like was the fact that when Amy didn't fall head over heels for him, he became an even bigger jerk. The only thing interesting I found in this story was the creepy little cabin boy with a morbid fascination with death and a raven for a pet. Him I liked.
But while I may have been disappointed in this story, I am a loyal reader and will continue to do so. I just hope her next book will be better than this one.
