A review by claudiap
Touch of Evil by C.T. Adams, Cathy Clamp
2.0
This is an incredibly uneven book, in which unfortunately the bad points outweigh the positive.
In general, the story of vampires being verm hosts and all the diplomacy among vampires, including the state of Not Prey, is quite intriguing. However, there are holes in the plot that the authors could not justify. One of the most obvious is that werewolves are recognized and discriminated against in society, while the existence of vampires is almost a myth. Why this difference?
Another point that was well achieved was the inclusion of religion in the paranormal world in a very appropriate way. However, I considered that most plot twists were foolish and did not add much to my interest in the book.
My biggest problem with this reading was the characters, especially the main character. All characters are stereotypes: Katie the strong and independent woman; Tom the handsome fireman ... And that's why a lot ofthe romance scenes do not work. The sex scene, then, is a bust. A strong and independent woman who has never had sex with the lights on? Seriously?
A book that needed a lot of work. I noticed from the reviews of the other readers that this may be one of the weakest books of the authors. I couldn’t tell, since this was the first book I’ve read from these authors.
