Emma - Star Crossed Reviews Extraordinary reader

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews So I was late to the party for this series and I only read the first book at the end of last year just before the second book came out in January 2019. I have been so so excited about this third book and when the publication was brought forward I was beyond stoked!

I'm going, to be honest, and say I did not love this as much as the first two. I won't spoil it for those that haven't read it yet but the 'black moment' I did not get it! I know others loved it but then there are some out there like me who just did not understand.

I thought the whole story was rushed. The audio is 9 hours and I think the written version is about 300 pages or so. I expected so much more for the ending of this story.

Holly's usual writing style was there but I realised I was over halfway through and quite honestly nothing had really happened. I am so so disappointed with the ending but it wouldn't put me off reading more of Holly's work in the future because I know her writing can be so much more.
