Review: The Progeny

The Progeny by Tosca Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tosca Lee's The Progeny started out with a bang. Great hook, really great build up, decent characters, very interesting premise. Around 50-60%, it took a weird turn to some partying, which made me take a pause and struggle to push through. I'm glad I did, because soon the explosive pace returned and raced to the finish. But then it ended. I'm okay with cliffhangers, and I know the author has mentioned this is going to be a duology, but seriously. It just ended. It dropped a few bombshells and then ended, with EVERYTHING up in the air!

I'll definitely read book two, just to tie up the story and figure out where Lee is going with her story. But I had to take off a star for the completely unresolved ending and a little extra for that brief period where the story veered off course and left me fighting to regain interest.

A little less than four stars, rounded up.

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.
