Warning: My review might be longer than the book.
The story is still as intriguing as ever! (remember this is fairly light RH reading, so judge accordingly). I mean yeah, there are a times when you’re going to know the plot ahead of the characters. Or when someone’s particular brand of angst seems over the top, but that’s the beauty of so many characters. Right?
At some point, one of them will be your favorite because you “just get them.”
This installment mainly centers on troubles in the council house. Kicking off right where the last book left us, with Fiona going to talk to Enrique.
Considering the nature of her news (pretty devastating) our Kitty Cat doesn’t handle it too well (understatement) and in true cat fashion fluxes between moody apathy and angry outbursts.
To distract herself from worrying about Enrique (and because they had it planned anyway) Fiona joins up with Pricilla on their own “mission.” But the information she receives, while helpful, sets a somber tone for the rest of the book.
-What did it mean? Loneliness? Estranged? Good and bad… I had no idea. I would make a note of it, but didn’t think that it would be a problem. After all, I had the guys around me, and Priscilla. Lonely was the one thing I would never be.-
Way to set up the red flags Fiona. 🚩
Of course nothing quite gets better after that…Theo is still struggling about their relationship status.
-“Theo, please try to understand,” I started, but Theo just shook his head.-
-“That’s just the thing Fiona,” he said. I know how I feel about you. But I don’t understand how you feel about me. Forget about it.”-
Dracus and Fiona never quite recovered from their last tiff so Enrique’s situation and Dracus’s way of handling it (darn se-eh-stubborn. I meant stubborn. Stubborn dragon) just adds to the strain.
Aaaand even though I tried to find a blurb for this one these two never stick to one topic in a conversation…On the upside…yay! Communication! Ha…haha..heh. Ahem.
Issues: Grammar. And wrong words. Sometimes it reads like the whole thing was written as a talk-to-text blurb. Funny in places, but downright confusing in others.
