librarianlayla 's review for:

Seven Black Diamonds by Melissa Marr
3.0

3.5 stars.

I had high hopes for this Fae inspired story but unfortunately it didn't quite deliver what I had hoped.

A lot of potential surprises about the main character were ruined in the side character's chapters, leaving there no development for her. The timeline appeared a little all over the place and the first quarter of the book was a little confusing and didn't set the world correctly. Relationships were rushed and had no substance. I think it had good potential, and as I've already purchased the sequel I will read that, but it just wasn't as polished as some of my favourite fae inspired stories.
