The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3 by Linda Burson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This box set contains Books 1-3 in The Marcy Series. Book One is Rage, Book Two is Confusion, and Book Three is Agony and Ecstasy. I was very excited to read this box set, but found myself not interested in it in the long run. While the characters are fairly realistic and the world building is pretty good, I felt the story itself and the dialog between characters were often repetitive and fluffy. I feel like the story in all three books were lacking depth and grit. It also seemed like a very slow read; not what I was expecting in a suspense story. I found the dreams Marcy has been having to be fairly interesting, and the premise that our subconscious has a profound impact on our waking, conscious world. In Marcy’s case, she becomes very short tempered and irritable with those around her. Who wouldn’t be irritated with very little sleep? But, it begins to affect all of her relationships, including the almost too perfect relationship between her and Brad. Their break up and make up roller coaster just made the irritation in me surface. Things seem to be overly dramatic when they didn’t need to be. Overall, a decently written book with okay characters and a lengthy storyline.
