Shadow's Claim by Kresley Cole
2.0
This is the second book I've read by Kresley Cole. Unsure if I'm a fan. I like the world-building, but many of the characters are trite. And everyone broods. Every. Last. Immortal. Broods... constantly.
We get it: You're in love, but you can't recognize it yet, so you're in lust, but you can't DO anything about it yet. Then you get a taste and your brooding borders on frenzied. Then you misinterpret something your intended does, and you brood some more, but in a broken-hearted sort of way.
And I find writing that sprinkles in contemporary slang or pop culture references unappealing unless it's referencing days-gone-by, sits squarely in a certain point in time, or using it with irony, the language feels gimmicky.
