ARC received for an honest review

Firstly - can I say #ArmPorn on the cover??

This is the second in the Core Four series, and can be read as a stand alone. In fact, it felt like a stand alone as it had been so long since I read the first one (Bender) and I had mostly forgotten it's story.

I loved the first book, so I was really looking forward to Slider. And while I liked it, I just didn't love it.

Dr Turner Brooks was enamoured with Annabelle from their first meeting. Annabelle had the insta-lust thing going on with him.

I did like that she didn't immediately fall at Turner's feet or into his bed, but made him work for it.


I loved the dates that Turner put together for them - showed how much he really was interested in Annabelle.

But Annabelle - she just faded into the background for me. I had to reread the blurb to even remember her name! I am not sure what it was about her, but I just didn't find her memorable at all.

Slider was a sweet, fastpaced (maybe a little too fast paced at times?) story that was a good way to fill in an afternoon - but it just didn't stick with me.

Although I will be reading the next two, as I think Wrigley's story is going to be fun.
