I’ve been putting off reading this for quite some time and the reason for it is that I keep forgetting about it. Although, what endears me in the first place are the right amount of mixed of what I want in a story.
Supernatural: ✓
Elemental: ✓
Investigations: ✓
Love story on the side: ✓
Well, I didn’t quite get what I was getting into before I started reading. It’s the fourth in the series and it actually slipped my mind to read the books before this. Stupid, I know. But still, I get into reading with only ‘here goes’ on my mind.
It was a new world I’ve delve into. And it was, at first quite overwhelming with getting to know the characters and keeping in mind who’s who and who’s with and what he/she is. I had of course a hard time getting everything all at once. But as I continue reading, the information isn’t quite staggering as I’ve thought it is. And all that have been going on my mind is that I have to read the first installment of this series and wait for the next book.
Mollie is a fire elemental investigating a lead about some investigations that is a hush-hush. The only other person who knows about the situation is her friend Carter who is posing as someone she is dating, even though she supposedly have a mate, I know, that part my mind is still quite stuck up on, and the Dr. who noticed the missing lab samples and the irregularities happening at the labs.
Greer is one of the ruling dryads, Mollie’s mate, but she rejected him, is pining. He is just waiting for the time to join his tree in communion and fade away because of the rejection and Mollie choosing Carter over him.
So, the adventure begins. And as I foray into this world of supernatural, I was enjoying imagining the world they have live in. And the dangers that have lurked and cost so much death and suffering. Not reading the installments before this one didn’t left me blind though, although there was no retelling of events that have already happened as much as I can tell other than the parts that need be. There’s no telling what will happen next nor the things that they are thinking. Nor what they will discover with their investigations, not even the motives which leave me frustrated actually.
But aside from hidden agendas, and search for answers, I enjoyed the play with RPGs, Xbox and the sarcastic humor which of course I didn’t get but enjoyed. They were dorks but they were still cute with their banters.
All in all, I enjoyed my reading adventure and I’m sure to get to the next book ASAP.
***I received an ARC via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Bland doesn't even cover my experience with this novel. I can't say it's a bad book, but unfortunately neither I can say there's something good.
Plot is ..Plot is. So are the characters. Every single facet of this book is shallow. Not even a lazy afternoon made this story a nice way to spend time.
This author and I are never going to be on the same wavelength. :)
