Review of "Quenched" by Z L Arcadie

Book Title:  Quenched
Author:  Z L Arcadie

In the previous two books to this series, we find there are seven sisters of a prophecy.  To this point all but one have been found.  This book finds the last sister.

As in the previous books, there's a back story.  This one is lack luster to say the least.  The characters seem like stiff cardboard, with very little depth when compared to the first book, and the passion it held.  Sex is simply gratuitous in this book as well because it just seems like something that's being used to establish a "love connection" and do double duty as filler.  There seems to be no meaning or feeling behind it other than a strong pull towards the others partner, and after a short time they've decided it's a forever thing.  HOW?!?!  I'm clueless.

The sister in this book meets up with someone from the previous book (The Seventh Sister) who does such a cliche job of bringing she and her male companion up to speed on everything that's been going on while she was discovering who she was, as well as her companion, that there's no reason for a good plot...  we're evidently just suppose to "insert plot here" and keep it going from the last two books hoping it's enough to carry us over into the fourth book of the series.

Would I recommend it to a friend?

Again, I'm hoping the fifth book is better...  if it is, I'll say yes, just so we don't lose you.  If not, I'm giving up on this series!
