Really enjoyed it. I wish I knew more of what is going on, but it was a fun start to this world.

Solid 3/5
As far as freebies go, this book:
-has an interesting plot
-an average, easy to read style
-a good build up before jumping into crazy romance
but it:
-seriously needs some editing
-ends on a poorly constructed cliffhanger
-main character is kind of a boring lady
I will definitely read Darknight because it will be quick and maybe then I can find out what happens, but I dont think I will end up reading all 13

3/5 ⭐️
It really dragged in the middle. Too much repeated explanation of things. I guess it evoked the feelings of the main character waiting for her life to begin as Prima, waiting for her consort.
At 45% of the book I was convinced I wouldn’t continue the series, but once finished I was like yeah need to read more.
The last 10% was where it finally picked up pace. Ended on a cliffhanger that was pretty engaging.
Note: I read this last year and initially rated it 3.5/5 but since then I have not read the sequel (I believe I started it at one point?) so clearly the book was not as engaging as I thought. Therefore I downgraded the rating to 3/5.

This was a suppppper slow paced book. Honestly 350 or so pages a lot of it could’ve been cut out and shortened way down. It was also very predictable. It wasn’t bad though. Not 100% sure I’ll continue the series yet. The narration was decent enough.

Darkangel: The Witches of Cleopatra Hall: Book 1🍒🍒🍄
By Christine Pope
2014
The first book in the 'The Witches of Cleopatra Hill' trilogy, a paranormal romance, set in The haunted town of Jerome, Arizona.
Angela McAllister is given magical powers from her Great Aunt Ruby, as she passes. However these magical powers are useless until she finds her consort. A consort is a mate of the opposite sex to bond with.....she can make this decision with one kiss.....40 some are rejected before she picks a 3rd cousin....????
This was ok...rather slow, and unoriginal but not bad.....I did like Angela, the protagonist, so I will probably check out rest of series.
