A review by krisrid
The Sweet Scent of Blood by Suzanne McLeod

1.0

This just didn't work for me. Wrong fit.

I found the writing style chaotic and confusing. The author seemed to be trying position a large number of plot threads all right at the beginning, but without enough detail to help the reader stay with her. I felt like I had missed a big section of explanations and story setup somewhere along the way, so I felt like I was lost the whole way along [as far as I read]

I also didn't connect to Genny at all. There was nothing engaging or sympathetic about her, for me anyway, that encouraged me to care about her and whatever her situation was [yet another plot line that was hinted at, but not explained] so I was more bored and engrossed.

I made it almost a third of the way through this book before I gave up on it. It just didn't draw me in the way the paranormal stories I've really loved did almost immediately, or at the very least fairly soon in the story. To get a third of the way through and still feel like: a) I have no idea what's going on here, and, more importantly, b) not really care what's going on here, means this is a miss for me. Did not finish at the page 89 mark.
