Dark Lover was good but I stopped after book 3, it started to feel like the same story over and over.

I just might at that but sometimes thinking OMG - 17 already. I will be here forever and I don't think they are short 200-300 page books either so I don't know if I will start that series either. <br /><br />MaryMary @ StackingMyBookShelves!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07510254497363581723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-68671321786499397982019-02-11T05:43:14.574-05:002019-02-11T05:43:14.574-05:00Well the consensus seems to be I'm not missing...Well the consensus seems to be I'm not missing much with The Darkest Minds.

The heroine was so completely frustrating I rated this one 2 stars. Dark Lover is really good and you wouldn't have to read any of the other books in the series if you didn't want to. They all are on different brothers and kind of wrap up. I recommend the first 4 books. I skipped around after that. The spin-off of the Black Dagger Brotherhood is really good, too. <br /><br />I have no interest in Darkest Minds either, but it may be in my TBR. I should check and take it off if it is. I'll never read it.
