I can't say I liked the style of this, it didn't flow too smoothly for me. And it was hard to discern between what Nikki was thinking and what others were saying in her mind since there were no italics used to show it easily.

BUT I have to admit that despite that, I kind of got pulled into the story. The hunt for Jasper almost had me as bloodthirsty as Michael and I found it quite hard to leave alone. It was nearly constant action with hardly any slow bits for me to get bored.

As for the romance between Nikki and Michael, I'm not sure if I was convinced by it. It all seemed sort of sudden.

I have books 2 and 3 in the series but I'm not sure if I'll be continuing the series yet.

I didn't know when I downloaded this that it was the second book in The de Vargas Family series, if I had I'd have gone out and gotten the first book, Indigo's story, and read it first as I'm sure it would have helped me understand this one a little more.

That being said, it wasn't that hard to understand the storyline but all the flower and chemical talk went over my head. I had no idea what was going on at those bits.

The romance was kinda sweet but at the same time I didn't really understand it. Why would you like the man who kidnapped you?

I also found the writing style a little too formal but considering it's set in the 19th Century I'm sure they would have spoken as formally as it was written but I wasn't a fan.

I've had this on my to-be-read shelf for a long time on Goodreads before I saw it on NetGalley so I kinda jumped at the chance to review it. Maybe I had high expectations or something but I just couldn't really get into it. The writing style was hard for me to gel with and I just found myself getting a bit bored with the storyline.

Then there was the fact that something happened in Naomi's life--something major--and we didn't actually find out about it until after, which confused me a bit as I had no idea what the family was so upset about, and therefore I had no feelings about it.

This just wasn't up my street at all but that doesn't mean it was bad. If you like the sound of it, then try it.
