Than you, Laura!I liked it, but the writing felt a bit off for me. I could tell that two people wrote this book. The technical machine and guns descriptions to cheesy romance lines felt disconnected.
Wow Miche! You are also kicking butt at this chalenge! 😀And I love it that you go on with one series one book after another. I used to do the same but since I joined GR it sort of went to one book a month which is not that good at times. I'm planning to remedy that also and start reading series like this.
And regarding that book, after your info I think I'll leave it for a lot lot later. I'm reading Midnight's Daughter now by Karen Chance and it feels disconnected the same way - only in this case between cheesy romance and tons of fight scenes. From fighting in blind rage to searing passionate kisses and desire the next moment. It just doesn't feel that right for me. Or maybe I've become to old for this kind of reads! :D

I used to read one book right after another in a series too. I'm not sure what happened, but now I rarely do that. I wish I could get back to doing that, then I wouldn't have so many unfinished series.

I normally read series like this, unless if I comitted to buddy reads. I get a better momentum if I keep them in a row. When I take breaks I loose interest very easily.
April 2018 tally: 6 booksGood month for this challenge! I am very happy I finally got around to read the Percy Jackson series that I bought at least 5 years ago, lol.

It made the book much more fun to read. Lets call it guilty pleasure, lol. It is full of issues but I truly enjoyed it. :)

No guilt required - I think i'm just an old lady when it comes to the fun of this series. When I relax a little i'll try it again lol.
