With Thoughtless being S.C. Stephens’ first attempt at a
full length novel, I assumed I would see growth between the debut novel and the
sequel. Effortless was written in a completely different way. Now, I am not a writer
so I am not going to attempt to explain this… But it was just better, more
complete, less confusing. S.C. Stephens open up her vocabulary and really
brought to life the entirely epic novel.
With that said, I still had issues with Kiera… She was the
person I disliked the most… More than Griffin. But I suppose we are being submerged
into the mind of a very broken character and allowances must be made.
S.C. Stephens created such a genuine environment for the
reader … I honestly felt like I knew Kellan and the rest of the D-Bags (which I
totally hate that name with a firey passion), the girls at Pete’s… Anna (who I
fell in love with!) I mean Kiera just had such an amazing group of friends and
family in Effortless.
Kellan and Kiera have many, many things to work through in
this novel… As Kellan goes on tour and Kiera is left in Seattle… It most
certainly is heartbreaking at times, and we see how when relationships begin
with lies it is all too often easier to continue the lies.
Just a word to the wise … I loved this book --- yes it was
long and at times annoying but I really, really enjoyed it. With that said,
this books is heavy in mature content just, like the first… maybe even a little
more steamy at time… but the romance between Kellan and Kiera is just absolutely
beautiful. So, if you aren’t too keen on hot and heavy --- you may want to pass…
Now…
This all begs a question --- Could there/should there be a
third book? I know
that apparently the author has promised a third book --- but
Effortless ends at such a beautiful place that I am wondering if another novel is
dragging the whole mess out too far --- UNLESS it is written from Kellan POV!
OHMIGOD ;) That would be fantastic!
