Black Sheep by Meghan March
2.0
Audible Escape
If this weren’t part of the Audible Escape package I would NOT be happy. This is HALF a book. I’m not saying this just because it ends in a cliffhanger, it’s also because of the length. You’d be spending a credit for what is the first half of a book, concluded in “White Night”. Additionally, there’s a lot of repetition that “fluffs” this up to being 6.5hrs. Both books combined are just over 12 hours. For a member discounted rate of $40 or 2 credits? No.
There’s a somewhat enjoyable & intriguing story here. This could have been a single 3 maybe 4 star book, but instead it’s a disappointing first half. In order to create filler conflict Drew, while described as an award-winning journalist, makes a slew of mistakes because... she’s attracted to Cannon? Really? This book basically covers 4 days. We’re supposed to believe that she’s so enthralled with this guy that she’s willing to give up her very personal mission of finding who is responsible for her father’s DEATH, because ... orgasm?
And the wig. It’s like it’s a character all unto itself. One that constantly has to be justified and explained in ridiculous ways.
I’m not even sure I’ll listen to the second half even though I don’t have to pay for it.
Also, it has ties to previous March books that I read years ago and clearly don’t remember well enough. They’re also on the Escape package, so it would be helpful to listen to the Dirty Billionaire series again. Which is another single book that was divided into 3 parts (at least they offer a bundle of all 3 for a single credit).
Andi Arndt & Sebastian York are phenomenal as always.
