So, I was caught in a train for extremely long hours and swept through the first 3 books in this series.They are not good. The plot is weak, the characters are pretty weak too, though they have their good moments. But my main issue was that basically the plot of each one of the three books could be summed up into something like this:First part: One of the involved party comes looking for the other with either a secret or non secret agenda. They do not like each other but feel this supper hot attraction and pull to their physical side.Second part: The world (which is very dangerous and full to the rim of powerful fae trapped in a 2 square fit magical dome) is trying to off either one or both of the main chars. Although at times they have the protection of the apparently most powerful of the fae, it turns out evilness can get to them anyway and forces them into...Third part: The tete-a-tete retreat in which they are forced to really confront each other, their past, their feelings and they get hands on action.Insert lots of hand induced orgasm from the boy to the girl before actually having sex and afterwards bunny sex everyone, multi orgasmic every time. Both him and her.Fourth part: They defeat the problem/evil person. Even though the most powerful people helping them couldn't, even though they are not particularly bright about it.So... Well, what more is there to say? The characters actions were off at points, their reasons to be varied and somewhat changed during the books. The fae politics seems childish. There is no real scheming involved that isn't beyond obvious. The oh so powerful fae are reduced to nothing more than humans who can now and then do some magic. Afterwards they won't use their powers to solve problems or situations that are ideal to be solved with them. Truly? Most puzzling.Also, what is it with describing what they are wearing and every pore of their skin as if the writer had a magnifying glass on them? I had never hated to know what the characters in a book wore before Anya Bast. It was like the description in itself added nothing to the book and only hindered my reading pace.I don't recommend them to anyone.
I dunno.. I guess romance novels aren't my cup of tea, even if it's urban fantasy.Don't get me wrong I did really enjoy parts of the novel, especially towards the end when the battle started. And though I didn't really like Aislinn in the beginning towards the end she became a stronger and a more believable character. Not to mention her AWESOME abilities, I would SERIOUSLY love to have her powers!But I found beginning a bit drawn out and the whole shopping, balls blah blah blah really off-putting, especially throwing in all the brand name clothes, what the? I guess if I like romance more maybe I would have enjoyed this novel more? But I will read the next one and see...
very well written I enjoyed the book greatly
