Review: Credence by Penelope Douglas

Credence by Penelope Douglas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m Conflicted......

This book is well written and emotionally charged, with an imaginative storyline and well drawn characters, but...... I’m conflicted.

There were a few areas where I felt really uncomfortable, which in itself is not a bad thing in a book, it means my preconceptions are being challenged and stirring up my thought processes.

I think I have more problems with the age-gap trope now at age 47, than I did in my early 20s. I think it’s because I now know how differently we think at this age, to how we did at that age. However, some people don’t mature as fast as others!

I also have a problem with the concept of a character having a magic pussy. Translation: a character who has lived wildly without thought of consequence or has psychological problems, not helped by the love and support of a family, are cured, seemingly by magic by ‘the love of a good woman’.

These two things have left me conflicted. If I could ignore them I would have rated the book more highly, because it was a good read, but being dubious about some key facts reduced my enjoyment significantly. If these things don’t bother you, you will probably love this book.
