Wicked Bite by Jeaniene Frost

3.0

Something was missing from this one. I’ve always loved Ian’s character throughout the entirety of Cat and Vlad’s books but his character this time around was just a watered down version of himself. The relationship between Ian and Veritas was also more fizzle than sizzle.

I’ll probably continue with the series. Fingers crossed the next one is better.

For my own reference in case I forget when the next book comes around. Spoilers below

SPOILERS..........

Veritas discovers she has a demon brother and is also betrothed to some golden god that was able to track her after thousands of years because she let her soul sucking second half out of her cage.

They finally kill Dagon, but he screws Veritas over by calling in the council. Ian has several of Dagon’s powers after having his soul captured and consumed by Dagon for a short period of time. (Ian dies in book one and Veritas thinks he lost his memory and forgets about her, but he doesn’t really, which made it unnecessarily awkward between the two of them in the beginning of book two which seemed to serve no purpose and frankly sucked)

Veritas is no longer immortal, apparently she never was (dear old dad really does love her) he never claimed her because of the whole protecting her from the gods thing apparently?

Bones friend Timothy reappears? Ian is his maker. So why didn’t he realize he wasn’t dead??? I can’t remember him from Cat’s books. He was guarding Cain who supposedly is an original vampire and it’s speculated that Cat and Bones daughter can regenerate him. Ian stole Cain’s horn, which is apparently really powerful and also blows the head off of someone if the touch it/try to take it. But it likes Ian so now it’s a bracket he wears.

So now the duo is on the run from the vampire council and the golden god.
