Trolls In The Hamptons (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

I liked Willow, and I liked the dogs. I didn't really like how her family treated her, for the most part, and how she put up with it. But really I only rated this 2 stars because I didn't feel as though this book was very well-written. I think it was the style more than the story. The story itself was interesting...I didn't fully understand every plot twist, but I don't know if that was because it wasn't well-explained, or whether I just wasn't interested enough to read more thoroughly. Also the romance seemed to come out of nowhere and monopolize the storyline. You even get a little "red herring" romance in the form of a hot cop...until the hotter secret agent shows up.Also, slight spoiler, he says he's destined to marry Willow, but the next 4 books seem to feature entirely new love interests for her. Maybe the author didn't think married people can have steamy sex, and therefore scrapped the idea? (I haven't read the next books and don't really have any interest in doing so, unless someone tells me the writing improves.) It's never good when you've gotten to page 77 and realized that you've been skimming for a while. The premise -- a (well-meaning but destructive) troll comes to life from the drawings of a comic book artist named Willy, after which she becomes involved with the Department of Unexplained Events -- is great fun, but the writing is flat and dull. I think the first-person narration is supposed to be breezy and chatty and a touch snarky, like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, but it's too labored -- too much attention to every little movement and thing Willy does, like a point-and-click game, and too much boring, unnecessary inner monologue to drudge through. I picked this up because of the title, thinking it would be hilarious and quirky, but there's too many good urban fantasy books out there to keep reading this one.

Eh...to "romance novel" for my taste masquerading as urban fantasy.
