Harley Merlin 2: Harley Merlin and the Mystery Twins

Like others I was duped into being this on false advertising. It is not harry Potter, not even close. It is written for a very young audience. I would have liked this in sixth grade. The characters and never developed. The story doesn’t have a complex quest or overarching good vs evil. There is just young innocents and evil. I would not have minded much as I can read anything with magic or fantasy. But to be tricked into buying this perhaps even lied to is an insult. This is no Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, insert your favorite fantasy here. This is more like the hardy boys find a bad school or the diary of a wimpy kid sees a scary clown. Want an intro to fantasy, read the Hobbit.

This book 2 in the Harley Merlin saga was as fun as the first book. It’s been referred to as a more adult Harry Potter and I agree with that comparison. Harley ‘s growing magical skills and insights are fun to read. And although this is probably YA reading material, this much older adult eagerly read every page of Harley and the Rag Team’s adventures with the nasty mystery twins.

The story concept & story is intriguing enough that I put up with this garbage writing for 3.5 books. If your looking for paperback novel quality without even a steamy make-out session as pay off, by all means, be my guest.

For more stars, the author needs to expand her vocabulary, pay much closer attention to time, and mind character details better. I feel like she needed about 4 more edits to have a quality story.

This tugged at my heart strings, made me vibrate with adrenaline, and bite my nails with anticipation. You won’t be able to stop from the moment you start the first page! I had to keep checking the status of pages read to make sure I wasn’t about to hit the end. Thankfully it kept going when I feared terribly painful cliffhangers. I’m so excited we don’t have long to wait for the next!!!

Holy freaking #@%! Just got one reading this one, loved it and the first, just bought the third no time to talk gotta find out what happens next. Haven’t been this hooked since Potter and the Marvel Cinematic Universes got their teeth into me. Don’t know which hottie I like more that is for you to find out for your own. Read the book, love the characters, and buckle your seatbelt you’ll need it! and the panic bar! 🙂
