Fantastic

This is a great continuation of the previous book. You’ll have to get the next one though if you want to know what happens to Bella though!

loved this book, we'll done.

lovely story, always rooting for the beast to be loved. nice series, going right to the next book.

Pauses

The pause break between one chapter and the next is long enough where I was concerned that it stopped playing all together. Other than that it is well done.

keep it coming

I love this book immensely it had an amazing story line had a nice little twist and roller coaster. I was in tears a little and it had me very overwhelmed at the end.

The perfect escape

This is a wonderful series for readers who want to disconnect from the real world.

Love

The drama and spice is amazing, I couldn’t put it down. Great book, I will read them all!

This book always makes me cry

The story is great. Jim Frangelione does a marvelous job on the female voices without the affectation that some do. I think he does an absolutely perfect job getting through the story, the different characters and the genders. There are some biases that you can see in how the author views trans people but these were written 20 years ago and I hope she has learned the error of that view point.

Excellent series but the pauses….

The series is excellent. Will written and excellent narration… expect the pauses between chapters are so long, I even have to look at the book to make sure it’s still on. 2 seconds is acceptable but 5+ seconds is a little ridiculous. But honestly the books are so good I can tolerate the bizarre pauses.

The book

It’s pulls you into it and keeps you on the edge of your seat with suspense

So much better.

This title is a solid 4 stars. I gave the last one 3.5 but a couple of the issues I had in the last book either were solved or were rounded out to make more sense in this title. I didn't like how often we got the Lessers perspective and felt knowing those one letter freaks didn't impact the story at all but this title made use of that prior annoyance. Though I am upset that I was right that there's some inappropriate sexual undertones with Mr.X going on with the boys. Nonetheless; although Mary was a real Mary sue majority of the book when it came time for her to be tough she really stood up. This story was world's more realistic than the last. Which is crazy to say for a vampire romance series lol Although Mary and Rhage's back and forth/miscommunication can grate on your last nerve it's realistic for the two given their backgrounds. I also love how Rhage actually kept her safe, I was so sure since with these kinds of books kidnapping is a must and she was going to get kidnapped (and it did happen) but not to his woman! . He truly kept that woman safe. That's oddly so rare on this genre. Loved how he always said her name too. Mary this, Mary that. Swoon. Loved the side plot with John /Darius too. I almost cried at the rice part. I'm excited for his story and Bellas! The narrators transatlantic cadence weighs down this series unfortunately.
