Book review: Mystify(Mystyx #2) by Artist Arthur

You can read my review of the first book in the Mystyx series here.


My summary:

Mystify continues where Mystix(Mystix #1) ended, but now the reader will follow the story of Sasha Carrington. Sasha is quite the outsider, she is the member of one of the richest families in town but she doesn't like it, it has never done her any good. Her parents have never had time for her and she was more or less raised by the family’s maid. All of the sudden her parents takes an interest in what she does, or more correctly they're taking advantage of her to do some PR to the younger crowd in town for a new business Sasha's father is starting. 

Sasha and the other members of Mystyx continue to research their own background to figure out what they are and what their purpose is. At the same time they all experience a growth in their supernatural powers. On top of all that there is Antoine Watson, he's a hip hopper and Sasha just might be in love with him, something her parents never will approve of.

My thoughts:
I'm sorry to say that Mystify will be my very first review book, ever, to mark as "did not finish". I gave the story a fair chance and read about a 100 pages but I could just not get into it. I cannot force myself to finish a book, that always gives me trouble afterwards and for a short period of time puts me off reading entirely and we can't let that happen.


I couldn't connect with Sasha and I felt that a lot of the story where being repeated again and again. I read a passage and thought didn't she just say/think the same about two pages ago? And that happened quite often. 


The idea of the plot is a good one, strange weather having something to do with the kids supernatural powers and I can honestly say that I would have loved to read more about it. It just took too long to get to the interesting bits and they were to far apart.

My rating of this book:

DNF - did not finish.
