The View Through the Looking Glass
I'm an avid reader and aspiring author with an unhealthy devotion to the written word. From the classics to guilty pleasures and all points in between...I just love to read. My primary focus at the moment is male/male romance, usually with a paranormal element thrown in. This is a place for me to rave about books I loved and rant about those I didn't.
This one was nice but not quite as enjoyable as the others. I think a lot of that has to do with Harris and his inability or unwillingness to accept Rohan as his mate, yet at the same time being more than willing to claim a spot in his bed. I don't know why but for some reason that bothered me. Like Rohan was good enough to sleep with but not good enough to commit to.I feel like the romance in this one was secondary to moving the ongoing plot forward (this is the fourth book in the series and there's a long term plot that has stretched across all four books) and it really shouldn't have been b/c of all the relationships this one had the most potential for drama and conflict and angst and just all the good things by virtue of Rohan being a vampire coven leader. That's an incredibly powerful position, and Rohan has to be a very strong, very powerful, somewhat ruthless man to hang onto it. We don't really get to see any of that though.
I don't know...I enjoyed the book, especially the appearance by Aden because he's my fave, but I feel like there's something missing that kept me from connecting with it.
