Lyla Oweds - Origins.
I don't really enjoy giving bad reviews but this has nothing but 4 stars on amazon and that is deceiving. This is part of an ongoing series that seems to be shaping into a reverse harem type situation. The story is interesting, romance is invisible and the hero figures are appealing mostly. The bad part is the heroine. One hero has a tendency to call her baby girl all the time which is eww but it might not be anything more than a character judgement on the heroine. She is a moron. There really is no excuse for how unappealingly childish and just plain dumb she is. At one point she decides that the guys (4 of them I think? I was distracted by her idiocy) are obviously a bunch of celibate Tibetan monks of some kind because they are ghost hunters I think? And all ghost hunters are? I was confused by her reasoning. Or lack thereof. By the time she legit stuck out her quivering lower lip and sulked, I knew I was never going to read the sequels. Not even the interesting ghost story sideline is worth it. If you can get past her, you might enjoy this extremely slow moving story. I can't.

? I don't like to rate low on Amazon, but I rate it how I read it on GoodReads. Not sure if this the right thing to do but I use GoodReads as a back up for my library.
