review 1: Great book. My favorite so far in this series. Previous reviewers stated that these books were boring...I disagree with that. Each and every one kept my interest. Research before you read...it will make your reading experience more enjoyable if you know what you are getting into. With Byrd you are getting a different spin on paranormal. The main focus in these books is erotic romance, but not an overabundance of sex. Byrd also adds humor, friendship, betrayal, violence, suspense and action...making her books fun to read. Can't wait to read what comes next. Would love to get Kellan's and Shrader's stories.
review 2: I'd give this one a 3.7/5. It was entertaining, but it was sooo repetitive when it came to many of the interactions between Riley and Hope.... more I get that Riley "couldn't" but sometimes it was starting to sound like fluff... Filler.. Not to mention that I had a hard time with some of the logic that was not being used... Once they learned the whole reason behind their past... Couldn't the others provide more convincing arguments to show him he was wrong? Anyways. There was definitely glue missing in this few-shades mosaic... But it was entertaining nonetheless and once you get pass the narrative-inclined style, you can get into it. One question though... Why were there suddenly so many Cacus? The other novels never made any allusions to so many having made it over... Where are the other "awakening Merricks"? Oh, and Noah could make for a good story (just FYI :P)... maybe a much better tortured soul ;)Okay... One more comment: I'll admit I often grit my teeth at the slow descriptives (instead of using action oriented dialogue between characters) in these novels, but when the author did use dialogue...? This one sounded, too often, like a bad doctor evil script... Ohhh... Let me explain everything to you through dialogue so you know everything we--your enemy--have in store for you! It's like a cop out... And it sounded so fake... I mean who would do that in reality? And they ALL seemed to do it! It also had the effect of slowing down the momentum of action scenes--a big no no. Either that or the author would continually slip in sentences like "so he explained all of blah bla blah, and told him about meh meh meh, and when he'd done that he went on to mention hoi hoi hoi... Etc etc" but riiight after we'd just read/witnessed the blah meh hoi live. Is that really necessary? Couldn't you find another way of communicating events to absentees?Anyhow. I really liked the other watchmen :P Maybe the next one will be better. less
