review 1: I wasn't really a fan of the new twist introduced into the storyline with this book. I was really into it in the beginning and then towards the middle there was this really confusing and (imo) unnecessary addition to the lore that just muddied the waters. I feel like Nate and Jake had enough built in angst and conflict between them that they didn't need the bells and whistles of supernatural shenanigans. This is a story that really could have been told on the strength of the characters alone. For me personally, I didn't like where the story went after that point b/c I feel like it got seriously off track and stopped being about Jake and Nate and their mating and became about explaining the lore and world building. Plus...I just flat out don't like the "twist". I don'... moret think the story ever really recovered from that detour and didn't live up to all the potential it had, there was so much time spent on it that the story was pretty much over by the time we got back to Jake and Nate and their issues were kind of handwaved away and it just wasn't satisfying. It wasn't a bad book, I wasn't never tempted not to finish but it didn't live up to my expectations or it's own potential.
review 2: The main reason why I don't like this book is because it isn't until the end of the story that we find out why Nathan betrayed Jake. I feel that the whole time Nathan was trying to get Jake to claim him, he should have been trying to clear the air between them. From beginning until the confession, I looked for reasons why Nathan deserved a second chance. We have to wait until Nathan is kidnapped and Jake and Nathan's shadow have a lengthy conversation before we can find out the truth. By then, I'm fed up and I don't care about the main characters at all. less
