Kiss and Consume - Uninspired Drivel




Kiss and Consume 
by Lynelle Barrett
2/5 Stars
⭐⭐


Kiss and Consume is the story of Abigail Hynes, a young woman in the 1800's whose parents are apparently some type of vampire, and who possesses some type of undefined magical witch-like powers. 

This book really just struck me as so much drivel. 
It had such potential, and the blurb made it sound really interesting and good. 
However, the writing was really lame, and the story took forever to define itself. 
Even the love/sex scenes, which sometimes redeem these types of books were just trite and uninspired for me. 
The important plot points took forever to develop, and even then things that were made out to be giant secrets were not that big of a deal in my opinion. 

The best thing I can say about this is that it was a really quick read, and there was some interesting research done on attitudes towards sex in the time period. 

Thanks to Booksirens for a free ARC of this book, my opinions are my own.
