*spoilers for the first book quite likely*
When Jacinda and her sister and mom return to the pride, she knows things won't be the same. But it is worse than she imagined. Her sister is no longer at home with her and her mother is unable to bear the pride's contempt. Cassian and his cousin Corbin are both paying too much attention to her. And most of all, Jacinda misses Will. Will they ever see one another again? Has she lost her chance at love forever?
Things I Liked:
I still enjoyed the family dynamics, though they kind of took a back seat in this book. The plot was pretty interesting too, with enough action to keep me reading and wondering just where she was taking her characters and how they would get there. I still like the idea of Draki and what they are, what they do, their mythos, etc. It's an intriguing concept.
Things I Didn't Like:
Really, it just doesn't stand out in a crowd of paranormals, despite its unique type of creature. I didn't really care what happened to Jacinda and I really wasn't fond of either of her love interests. The plot was fairly exciting, but I just struggled to get through the book. It will be enjoyed by those who can't get enough paranormal romance, but it just wasn't the book for me.
Read-alikes:
Read the first book, Firelight
Lots of other paranormal romances: Hush, Hush, Twilight, Mortal Instruments, etc
BOOK CONTENT RATINGS:
s-factor: !
maybe one or two
mrg-factor: none
mostly it's kissing
v-factor: ->
a little bit of action, but nothing graphic
Overall rating: **
How far into a series you don't enjoy do you go before giving up?
If you buy through my Amazon linkage, I will get a very small percentage
