Not sure
Not really sure about this one. In some ways parts of this novel will stay with me, in others it just felt a little lost. Maybe it was the animal behaviour mixed with psychology that was shoehorned in rather then developing the characters more. I'm glad I read it but felt it could give more

I have had this recommend to me so many times that I really wanted to give it a shot. Unfortunately from page one I was lost. The writing as if I was Kol and I was writing the story was hard to grasp and turned me off.
While I enjoyed the world and the struggles I just couldn't get past the writing style. Maybe I will give it another shot down the line.

Lost interest near the middle
This was pretty good to start with but my attention waned somewhere in the middle and wasn't really regained until the falling out at about 85%. I was even skipping the sex scenes...
I liked some of the secondary characters, the Queen for one. She was fun, especially the verbal sparring with Nicholas at times. Everyone else was kinda blah.
I'm not sure if I'll be reading the next book.

Read in one sitting. I did enjoy this enough to give maybe 4 stars, however at one point Trish describes an old boyfriend over 3 pages. Over these pages he is called Jacob, Jack and Jake. This was a really obvious mistake that should easily have been picked up in my opinion. Hence the lost of another star.
