Review:
I can’t necessarily say that I loved this book, but I really liked it! The couple were good together, once they figured out the other wasn’t out to kill them of course, and I liked how much they’d do for each other a lot. However, I wanted to smack Maddox for not just talking to her instead of assuming she was Bait, and Ashlyn was often too stubborn or naïve for her own good.
That being said, I LOVED the premise! Greek mythology was always one of my favorites, and to see that portrayed this way was really, really neat. A bunch of warriors soul melded to demon spirits that were released from Pandora’s box? Too cool. I can’t wait to see more of the warriors’ stories and how they overcome/cope with their demonic side effects.
Overall, Gena Showalter has created a satisfying romance, an enthralling world that I can’t get enough of, and a fascinating series that I look forward to reading more of!

Overall I liked this book too - in fact I liked the first 5 books in the series but after number 5 - something just didn't work for me but this one was very good
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking forward to the next one, but yeah there is just something that didn't always feel quite right that might become more prominent later, so I can see how after a point, they might not work. At least I know there's time to enjoy though! Thanks :-)
