My Take Oh man. Another zinger from Thurman! Although, there weren’t as many clever T-shirts or that gritty, dark humor I usually find in a Cal Leandros story. Of course, the subject matter in this one was grim — a drunken mother who abused her children and children who worked hard to cope and stay together. The older learning some hard lessons from the younger. Thurman flips back and forth between today and twelve years ago in the Leandros brothers’ childhood. God, it’s just so, heartening — and disheartening! — to read of what Niko went through to raise his little brother. The worries and hopes he had. And absolutely gripping. The young Cal was […]

The couple, well, the foursome, focus is on James and Olivia Forster kidnapped by the king and his friend. My Take It’s an interesting twist on submission with the man being the submissive this time. I had been expecting the werewolves and other shifters from Resurrection in upper New York state, so the beginning of this one was a surprise and it took a bit before the disconnect left. It starts with an introduction to James and Olivia Forster with their very happy marriage and almost happier life before it’s all torn to pieces, and then introduces us to wereseal society. Holly does provide good reasons […]

My Take This was just bad. Overly dramatic and stupid. An over-the-top villain using questionable employees. A “heroine” who insists on staying in a dangerous situation to talk. Sure, it makes sense that Caro wouldn’t believe in the existence of vampires. However, all kinds of weird stuff is going on, she’s witness to vampire-like activity, so, while I may not believe in vampires, I’d certainly be cautious if only until I could find out what was going on. Maitland did have a subtle move in slowly leaving clues about Caro’s changes and the revelations about her previous boyfriends. Certainly an interesting concept, although I found Jude’s disgust believable and yet not, all of which was followed up by his sudden about-face. It felt too convenient. The Bulgarians know about the murdering vampires, and when […]
