A review by miduhadi
Evernight by Kristen Callihan

3.0

So much better than the previous one that had featured a hypocrite and sadist in the role of the male lead. There were some other improvements too that are rarely a part of romances like this one. For instance, the female lead was the one doing the rebuffing. She was also not a virgin!

The usual tropes and cliches were also in play. The main reason the lead couple had gone to great lengths turned to be not a huge deal. Lost memories were conveniently and almost immediately recovered. One group of bad guys who threatened our heroine was easily overcome by the dashing hero in berserker-mode. The other was defeated rather easily by the couple -- surprising, given the big deal that this villain was made out to be. We find out next to nothing about the heroine's past and the traumatizing history she shared with the male lead. And so on.

We were also introduced to a new couple -- Adam and Eliza May. Adam is written to be an ass who'd rather keep his mate chained to him -- like literally -- than let her make up her mind about being with him. Dunno how the author is going to dig him out of this hole she put him in!
