The Striker by Ana Huang Review

DNF @ 60% It honestly hurt to DNF this one because I’ve absolutely adored some of Ana Huang’s earlier books, but her last few just haven’t hit the same for me. The Striker isn’t a bad book by any means, it’s just way too long for the story it’s trying to tell, and I found myself losing interest.
