Dying to Meat You by Cyan Leblanc

1/5 stars

Dying to Meat You is the frantic story of a woman’s love and her indecision about what she can live with.

This story is hectic; very hectic. It felt disjointed and rushed because there wasn’t much downtime between all the action. It was constant foot on the gas, and it made it really exhausting to read. I found it hard to keep up with this because there was just so much going on.

I didn’t really care for any of the characters, and I couldn’t get concerned for any of their well-being. Arianta could never make up her mind about anything and was constantly changing what she wanted and what she was doing. Katherine was an extremely flat character whose only documented traits were sexy and dangerous. The two of them had absolutely no chemistry together, and nobody could seem to figure out what they really wanted to do with each other.

The story itself had an interesting premise, but I don’t think it was executed as well as it could have been. The big reveals were really predictable and telegraphed so early in the book that I didn’t get the shock and surprise that I was after when the reveals happened. Because of that, it was hard for me to fully commit to reading this since I felt like I already knew what was coming.

Swing and a miss for me. As fun as reading about cannibalism is, this one was so detached that I just couldn’t get into it.
