Nikita Parmenter

First things first. I want to make it clear. I absolutely loved the story. However what I did not like was the fact that I had to fill in the blanks all the way through the story trying to figure out what exactly it is that Nikita wanted to say to her readers. I felt like it was one of those essays we had as children fill in the blanks. See Spot run. Watch him catch the blank. Come on what the fuck? Yes I know that's kind of crass but you know what I don't care. The story was so solid. If not for the missing words, poor grammar, and confusion then it would be a great five star book.… (más)

So once again, I want to point out the fact that I absolutely love the story. However, I do not like the fact that I have to fill in the blanks all through the book. If it's not the blanks, it's extra words that make absolutely no sense or, it's poor grammar.

Another huge pet peeve of mine. Nikita is a great author. However, if she's going to write a book that's supposedly takes place in the USA somewhere, maybe she should stop using UK terms.

It is extremely confusing for us who don't know UK terms, other than the fact that they are UK terms. Does that make sense?

Again other than what's mentioned above, I absolutely love the story. Which is why I gave it three stars instead of two.

Hell, if the stuff above didn't happen, it would have gotten a solid 5 from me.… (más)

For the Love of god. I must really like this author because I am putting up with so many grammar issues it's starting to drive me insane. Again, I like the story however, the grammar is really beginning to piss me the fuck off. Again I know a wee bit crass but I don't care. She is starting to really piss me off. Nikita is a great author. I do not understand why this series has failed so much. The story is solid. I'm enjoying that part of it but I do not like the missing words. I do not like the fact that there are extra words that shouldn't even be there. I do not like the fact that she keeps on mixing up US terms versus UK terms. I do not like the fact that she keeps calling it a floor when it should be the ground. The floor insinuates that it's inside not outside. You do not have to be from the USA to understand the difference. This book, this whole series, is frustrating the hell out of me. But you know what? Doesn't matter. Cuz I'm going to read the next book. Heaven help me.… (más)

I did a full review on FB about this book and the series so I am just going to copy paste it...
However, first I wanted to ask... Am I the only one that noticed in four books she has only had one period? All that sexy time and no period since xmas? And no baby? Hmmm...


As much as I loved this series, Finding my home by Nikita Parmenter Author ,I think I am going to stop after I am finished book four.
Not because I don't want to read more of it, I do, it's just that I didn't know the series was incomplete when I started reading it...Goodreads gave the impression it was a five book series however, I was just on the why-choose website and found out there is at least one more book, or more, coming out still, and I HATE cliffhangers.
It's better that I wait until the series is completed before I continue.

Plus, if you know me, you know I am somewhat of a snob when it comes to grammar and punctuation in the books I am reading. When there are multiple errors, it takes away from the story so, when I am dealing with a series that suffers from multiple errors...like....so many.... I have to just read straight through. No breaks. Well, except for sleep... that's unavoidable...

So, I am going to put this series on hold for now, and revisit the why-choose website at the end of December and see if the series is completed.

If you are looking for a good story, then this series is really good... The only thing I NEED to warn about is the headache you may suffer with missing words, extra words, misspelled words, mixed UK vs USA terms and constantly referring to the GROUND as the FLOOR when referencing the outdoors.... As well as other minor things... If you can handle all that or train your brain to skip those issues, then this series has my full support.

Like I said... The STORY is a solid five / five.

Nikita is a good author. Not sure what happened in this series where the grammar and punctuation were concerned.... But she has a great mind for story telling.
