Half to Death

I very much enjoyed Half to Death. The romance was sweet, the characters were fun and funny and some of the situations were more serious than I expected. 

Thank you to whomever loaned it to me through Amazon!

Never thought I would get teary-eyed with one of Robin’s books. Her more current stories (my past reads) are laced with humor; however, her past stories (my current reads) are much more emotional, and Half to Death is a prime example. (This story has a few emotional triggers (view spoiler)[ eating disorder and molestation (hide spoiler)].)

As the blurb states, Sloan has a near death experience resulting in a...tangible...effect that becomes a blessing and a curse. She is never in want of support because she is surrounded by an awesome group of women she calls family. Miranda is the most significant out of the bunch and the type of person who stays with Sloan through thick and thin. 

While trying to move past her traumatic experience, Sloan meets the mysterious Jade, a.k.a “Perfection Personified.” Through Sloan’s eyes, I felt their magnetic pull strengthen as the story progressed. I like that Robin did not go the insta-love route with Sloan and Jade but chose to build their relationship under unique circumstances. 

My only wish is that since the story is told from Sloan’s POV, it would have been nice (for lack of a better word) to experience more of what she was like before the accident. There is no doubt in my mind the near death experience changed Sloan; however, I would have liked to experience that change rather than be told she changed. (I guess that’s what imaginations are for, right?) 

Overall this is a great story about human strengths and weaknesses along with the importance of persistence, communication, and patience. It is also one I am sure to reread before the year is over.

I love everything written by Robin Alexander. She has it all. Her stories are witty, intense, intelligent, HOT, and every single one is different. She doesn't follow a cookie cutter formula, and you can be sure to get something new and interesting in everything she undertakes.

This book, Half to Death, is possibly my favorite so far. It takes us to a new location to get to know, introduces us to characters with new and interesting problems, it has goddesses and homely but lovable, pets, past secrets, and tops it off with a touch of paranormal! You will laugh and cry in this one, and the love story is intense as always.

My only problem, as with all Robin Alexander books, is that it wasn't long enough. I end each of her stories wishing i could spend more time with the people she let us get to know.
