Overall score:

I scored this book 5/5

Short Summary of the book:

This book continues where the previous book in the series left off. Slade and his friends have taken Chelsea and Melody to Ireland. They stay at the Lycan castle and Slade has difficulty in suppressing his attraction to Chelsea. Are the monsters who chased them in America still after them?
And how could Slade cope with the presence of the sister of the fiancée he lost a century earlier?

What I liked about the book:

I loved how Chelsea and Slade fought against the attraction they both felt. A future would certainly not be possible? Slade was an immortal and Chelsea would die eventually.

What I didn’t like about the book:

It was hard to see how the sister of Slade’s fiancée did everything in her power to seduce the brother of his best friend to get money for a dangerous scientific project.

My favourite bits in the book:

The power struggle between hearts and mind. How can you let your mind rule when your heart contradicts it?

My least favourite bits in the book:

The manipulative behaviour of his fiancee’s sister.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is the second book in the series and the third one also available.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This book is another book of many which balance good against bad. In this case bad vampires against good ones.

Recommendation:


Children
No
Young Adult
Yes
Adult
Yes

If you like Vampire and Lycan stories this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
