Blood Passage by Heather Demetrios

It was a good read but also... Seriously, did you HAVE to kill off Malek? He was shaping up to be one of those really well developed characters that battles the darkness inside of him and becomes good! He's the only charcter that really had any development in this series. Everyone else has just been kinda shallowly bumming along. Raif is just this kid that got shoved into a leader role he doesn't even want... and he's just such a BORE when it comes to being a lover. "I'll always choose you... Pikachu! (Oops, I mean, Nalia)". Nalia after a dream became the rightful heir to the throne she didn't even want... and its called fate from the gods (What?). And Zanari has such a forced "I'm here for my brother and nothing else" and "Finally I found love just by looking into someones eye's" personality and very little backstory. (Blargh.)
This book made me really like Malek. And now he is dead. I'm going into the third book slightly unsure if I'll enjoy it as much as I could have. And its not just that I think Malek was a much more suitable character for Nalia to end up with, despite his misgivings. Everything else is just kinda sudden and no one has depth. Hopefully I am pleasantly suprised. But either way, I am loving this author, her ideas and themes, and will for sure read more of her works. I have enjoyed this series thus far, even if it just becomes a one-time read series.
