Drowning Studies by Erin R. FlynnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Studies Continue
You know how in music they always talk about the difficult second album, where the musician has years to craft the songs for their first album before they get a deal, it’s a big hit and the studio pushes them to rush the second album, which means it’s weaker than the first? Well I feel a bit like that’s what happened with this book. The first book was amazing, but this book didn’t feel quite as well constructed or edited. However, it’s was still a great book that I really enjoyed.
Tamsin is still drowning in studies as she tries to get back to full time education after dropping out at age 15. She’s trying to get her High School Diploma at the same time as going to college for freshman year. Darby, the vampire scholarship student, is helping tutor her and Izzy, the witch room mate, is helping. There’s still a huge amount to learn for someone who’s been out of education for so long and the author does a great job of conveying that sense of drowning in studies.
Tamsin’s relationships are still complicated, despite none of them being ‘serious’ and I love how she still wants her lovers to be her friends and expects the kind of loyalty that friendship assumes.
In this book the supernatural community seems to up it’s activity to find out what kind of supernatural Tamsin is, and she has to watch herself constantly for the manipulation of even those she considers friends.
I like how we find out a bit more of the supernatural world in this book, especially about the shifters.
So whilst this book wasn’t the stand out the first in the series was, it was still really good and I can’t wait to see what happens next to Tamsin and her friends and lovers.
