Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2570 KP) rated L.A. Requiem (Elvis Cole, #8) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
I’ve long complained that the main characters, especially Pike, felt too flat as characters. This book goes a long way to filling us in on Pike, although the result was a little cliché, which may just be a factor of the book’s age. The story was strong and kept moving forward quickly, although a few things go glossed over at the end, and Crais can’t help himself – he has to stick in a due ex machina. The love letter to LA at the end is beautifully written, especially for those of us who live here. Overall, a good book well worth reading.

Merissa (14009 KP) rated Jaz's Warriors (Bondmates, #2) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
The story starts with the invasion of Earth, and then jumps forward to when Jaz is already a Matriarch, mated to two and meeting a potential third. Things are done very differently in this world, and some human females are having trouble adapting. Jaz's counselling experience is able to help her and others to cope with a way of living and loving.
Because I haven't read the first book, I'm not sure if Jaz is mentioned in that, or how she met husbands one and two. This isn't a negative, it's just that this is one fast-paced story so I would like to know more about these characters, just to understand all aspects of the story.
If you are after a short and steamy sci-fi romance with multi partners, then I can definitely recommend this one.
* I received this book from Barclay Publicity in return for a fair and honest review. *
