One word for this story: confusing. Confusing sentences and dialogue, continuity issues, abrupt introductions of new plot points, and unusual things happening without explanation or reaction from the characters. Inconsistencies, contradictions, illogical conclusions.s that didn't make any sense was all so confusing. I was lost, wondering if I missed a few pages of world building. Because there wasn't any, and I was missing way too much information.My interest was caught, though, so I struggled o [...]

A checklist of guaranteed reading from me:- abused MC- rent boy MC- fae MCOh boy

Okay so this book was great and deserves more than the three point something stars it receives on , but nevertheless, I give it a five.It had everything I love in it; romance, sex, angst (a LOT of angst), a family aspect, a supernatural aspect, and characters with PERSONALITY! So much personality! I mean Kevin didn't really have a personality, but I have a theory that that IS his personality.bland, sometimes funny, rarely smiling, soft-spoken, quiet, stomach-loving Kevin.I loved this world, this [...]

Barbara Geiger, with Changeling, her new novel set in the Middlehill 'verse, is taking erotic fiction to a whole new level. In addition to being smoking hot, her writing goes deep into what it means to heal from the things that could break any of us. In the opening scene, Matt meets Kevin, and the connection is obvious to both of them, but there are mysteries upon mysteries involved, and nothing quite happens to form. Matt can't remember very much about his childhood prior to going to live with [...]

Barb Geiger made me blush with this sexy magical story, she also made me applaud her range of scope and attention to detail. Her understanding of emotions and character are superlative! I'll definitely be reading the next in this series!

I also thought it was very confusing and I couldn’t follow the main characters reactions because I didn’t understand them at all. There was also no real knowledge of the law and law enforcement procedures, it was just a series of events that didn’t make sense and there was no real explanation in order show you why it was happening that way. It was like the characters were all in on a secret that we the reader knew nothing about. The story was all over the place and I couldn’t bring mysel [...]

This is a difficult book to review. The plot idea is an interesting one and the type of characters should allow for a lot of depth in the writing and plot twists. Sadly, I don’t think the author quite succeeds. I really wanted this novel to intrigue and that it did. The writing however, was very muddled. There are long passages where the distinction between flashback and present day are very unclear, which helps to make this story confusing.At first I thought it deliberate as the childhood abu [...]

Changeling: Middle Hill 1 is the first book I’ve read by Barbara Geiger. It follows Matt, an eighteen year old, who has to resort to hustling in order to support his eleven year old brother. We meet him on a bus and right from the start, we can tell the young man has lived a hard life.Kevin is the other main character in this novel. Matt meets him on a bus ride back from a music competition his brother had competed in. While Matt always views men as income sources, something about Kevin draws [...]

This is my first (almost ever) DNF. I tried. I really did. I loved the writing style. You have to really pay attention, Barbara Geiger puts so much into each sentence that I had to really concentrate to see what she was getting at, sometimes reading the same passage multiple times. I loved the premise. A Fae king lost to the dirty life of a rent boy, who only works as such to help his little brother, after suffering abuse for years at the hands of his step-father. What’s not to love? I was ste [...]

If it weren't so confusing and haphazardly it would have been so much better.I really wanted to like the book but it was just too much. I like when people don' t get everything on the platter and have to make out some info themselves, but in this bookere was just big chaos and mostly nothing to it. I have so many question and it irks me that I don't really care about answers in most cases. Disappointing.

8/6-I find myself very confused so far but I'm going to continue and see where this going.

This was too long for my taste, I kept getting bored with it. I hope the next book isn't as long.
