I had the pleasure of an advanced copy of the book by the author.
There are a lot of PNR books out there.Some have a very romantic or erotic tendency, others are heavier on the action or the story line, but sometimes you find a book , an author , a series , that has it all,that pulls you in and doesn't let you go.
One of these books , a series called " Kindred" is written by the new author Nicola Claire, who I utterly adore.
Book 5 - Dancing Dragon- continues where book 4 stopped , just a few weeks later. I won't go into any details, which would only take away of everybody's pleasure of reading this book, but I am compelled to share my feelings this book evoked in me.
It is a roller coaster of emotions, not only for the main characters Lucinda and Michel, but also for the reader , who followed their lives through the previous books. Nothing is how it first appears, no handbook to follow how their lives will enfold, but a sure grip of the reader is guaranteed.
This book keeps you captivated from the first page on , has you smiling, makes you angry, gives you an all fuzzy feeling and last but not least, fills you up with big crocodile tears.
New characters appear, who only add to the ongoing story, not take away from it.In contrary, these new characters give the book a new twist and angle.
It does end with an very unexpected situation, but this is a good author to you. Nothing predictable - only keeping you on your toes and hoping that the next book will appear rather sooner than later.
I can highly recommend this book.
Thank you Nicola Claire !
