Not as good as Theo’s story.
What’s incredibly annoying about this author so far as I’ve only read 2 books by her, is that she takes forever to get the story going to when the H and h finally get together. More than 60% of the book has gone by and you could fit their total sum of interacts on a max of 5 pages. They barely interacted, barely anything happened, barely any investigation happened. Where’s the plot? Where’s the story? It’s there but minimally. I didn’t like Jade from last book and Alice was even worse. She kept comparing Luka to her past relationships, which I get can color your opinion on things, but what was frustrating was that LUKA IS NOT HUMAN and rather than learn more about how they work she was stuck inside her head preventing her from being with Luka. We get to about 70% or so when she finally starts softening her stupidity about her feelings for him.
So much of this book was boring.
Endless descriptions, but nothing in depth in terms of relationships, learning more about their world, learning history of these people, etc. so much could have gone further but really the major focal point is the romance. But there’s barely any romance. There’s barely any investigation. I’m intrigued by this different series but it doesn’t do enough for me. I’ll give her 1 more book to sweep me off my feet, but I’m not holding my breath.
Alice was stupid, annoying, dense, and illogical sometimes. Basing your feelings on not being a doormat, but not learning how these people court a mate or potential person they are into, is good but the wrong time. This was not the time for Alice to have a backbone she looked idiotic when we’d go to Luka’s POV and all he wanted was for her to acknowledge him.
We get a tiny taste of more in the whole smuggling of humans things, but barely. ALL the action happens at like the 90%-95% mark. You wait that long to have someone sabotage them or lure them to a trap or something and it’s just anticlimactic.
Honestly I prefer Brides of the Kindred series over this so far. I WANT to like it. There’s so much here to explore and it completely fell short.
Read with Gotta Have Romance with a Kick Goodreads Group.

"And they’ve barely been on the pages together. I bet we could take all their interactions and it would be like maybe 5 pages. Ugh."

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I couldn’t even finish it.

Add to the fact that she acted too stupid to live in the climatic scene. She was told to stay safe, and she jumped right into a dangerous situation she is not capable of handling because.. well no reason.
Do you feel like I could safely skip this book or will I be confused in book 3?

I loved that they built the relationship up and actually had them fall in love before sleeping together. I didn’t find she was hard-core comparing them either

However in this case they truly spent the total sum of like 10 pages together that’s not a lot and not very much talking or interacting went on.
Omg this - 1000000000%
