Vested Interest

review 1: I couldn't finish this book. I picked it up on Amazon because it was free for my Kindle and looked interesting... but I had to stop. It's just stupid. I'm all for mysterious mysteries that are mystifying, but these people seem to have written the book with word count in mind instead of plot. Every time the plot seems to be moving forward, i.e. we are learning more about the mysterious mystifying mystery, there is a pages long sex scene. Which is absolutely unnecessary. The people having sex also seem to have zero basis for their relationship. This book would be far more interesting if we could go more than 2 pages without butt-grabbing and saliva swapping. Note to the authors: if you want to write a story, don't use sex scenes to take up word count. It's lame and makes the... more reader lose interest. Quickly.
review 2: Donna is a genetic scientist who quits her job at the start of the book. She then gets whisked away to London for her safety. This begins her journey into a world of secret orders, medical and technological advances beyond those known by the world, evil villans and secrets from her own past.I picked up this book for free and am now half way through book #2. I read some of the reviews and wanted to make some comments.First, yes, there are many references that include medical terms and technology terms. The authors weave this into the story very well. If medical/technology based details bother you; maybe you should avoid this series. I actually really enjoyed the technology angle- it is very fun to think about some of the things people have created in the authors world!Second, the history and depth of the story line really drags you in. There are many unanswered things and from the looks of it around 8 books in the series to exapand upon the world!Third, my biggest complaint is the character relationships. Donna, Ricky, Sam and Gary all come across as extremely immature when it comes to relationships/romance. I spent alot of time rolling my eyes at the ways these characters interacted with each other and felt like I was on a flash back to high school or maybe a bit of Gossip Girl inserted into the story. Gary tells Donna that he thinks Sam likes her. Ricky falls immediately in love with Donna with out any explanation and he breaks up with his current girlfriend that very day. Sam and Donna talk on the phone late night and he tells her that he loves her. All of this happens within a few days!Overall, the story so far is interesting and fun. I did have to do a bit of glossing over the relationship aspects because it did not feel realistic for mature adults- but that has not ruined the story for me. less
