“The story wasn’t holding my attention and I didn’t feel invested in any of the characters.”
~ Under the Covers

I had such high hopes for this book, I wanted a captivating mystery with a paranormal edge and The Cabin on Souder Hill seemed like it fit my requirements. That wasn’t the case. I ended up DNFing this book after about 50%, I had just lost all interest. The story wasn’t holding my attention and I didn’t feel invested in any of the characters.

Maybe it was the pacing, it was too slow and meandering to be considered exciting and nail-biting, which, I don’t mind if instead the story builds up slowly, ramping up the tension and atmosphere as it goes. But The Cabin on Souder Hill didn’t do that either. It just plodded along leaving me in its wake with absolutely no interest in seeing where it was meandering off to.

I can see how some readers may enjoy this slower paced style, with its cast of odd, not quite likable characters. I had almost a Twin Peaks style quirkiness to it, which normally I would appreciate, but in this case it just wasn’t doing it for me.

Gosh, we all seem to be admitting our ages…and I hate that I am at the point in life when admitting my age is a “thing”…whodda thunk it? I was kind of hoping I would remain 21 forever. However, I have moved out of that New Adult stage of my life and am now strictly in the Contemporary Romance age zone of 28. I would prefer to be in an Urban Fantasy arena, but I don’t think I own enough black leather. However, I could probably squeeze into some PNR, I am fully prepared to give a horn job to my favourite demon, or suck on my sexy vamps…fangs and I am definitely up for some heavy petting with some fine looking shifters. Than again their’s always Sci Fi…I am fully prepared to do the right thing and help some poor alien race with more 6 packs than a supermarket repopulate their planet. Not that I am loose woman or anything.

Annnnnd I will stop myself there, before I start waxing lyrical about my love of historical romance and fantasy as well; no one needs to know about my elf fantasies. As you can tell, I adore and day dream about most romance genres, and my three big loves are 1) reading about romance 2) writing about romance and 3) talking about romance with my gals. Which, is why I love Under the Covers so much, I get all my bookish needs satisfied and don’t get judged when I talk about my favourite characters like they are real people. Which they are right?
