Book Review: Beautiful Sins: Leigha Lowery by Jennifer Hampton
Description from Amazon
The skies of the Dark Coast, the Pacific Coastline of U.S. States has been infected with a strange chemical reaction from a military experiment gone awry. Constant cloud cover rules over the lands. Leigha Lowery, a sixteen year-old popular fiction writer in the local free press is pulled from the only home she knows in Detroit, MI when her mother decides on an impulse to marry a doctor she's been dating over the internet and moves to the small town of Banks, Oregon. As she adjusts to her new life of wealth and power, she begins to realize that the rumors about the Dark Coast aren't even close to what she's witnessed. Prince Alexander Sommers, the son of King Royce, and heir to the throne has taken a fascination to her. He pulls her into a world of vampires, werewolves, witches, and many other creatures of the night that have decided to make the Dark Coast their home.
Review
Overall Feedback: This one was a good mix of paranormal fantasy and dystopian fiction. Hampton does a fine job of expounding on the realities we see and forcing the reader to open their mind. A great read for any price.
Point of View: The main charcter is a average every day girl name Leigh and you center around her.
Voice: To be honest it was hard to determine the voice with the editing and proof reading errors.
Character Development: Hampton develops character very well and this helps distract from the need of an editor.
Plot: Due to the editing the Plot is somewhat hard to follow but does not skip out.
Dialogue: This is where editing would of heped most as the conversations are choppy at best.
Pacing: Hampton tries to rush through detail and ends up hurting the pacing as you are a bit confused.
Setting: A little more detail would have brought more to the setting and helped win me over.
Continuity: To difficult to provide any thoughts one way or another.
