This was like 98% smut and 2% plot. A shame because the plot was interesting!!!!!! Unfortunately it was drowned out by all the sex. EVERY chapter has it. Why? What is the point? To me it tells me this author doesn’t know how to execute plot so she just adds smut to fill the pages. I skimmed or skipped all the sex scenes.
This book needs a fresh set of eyes to edit. Again there were issues with missing words. A lot is misspellings. And this book in particular had a lot of continuity issues. First it was champagne with the strawberry extract but then at the party and onward it was referenced as wine. Arlo showed up at Damon’s house not Maverick’s like Axel says. Damon bringing up the tunnels came out of no where. The conversation and his inner monologue had zero lead into that thought process nor was there any lead into them figuring out who was left. One min he was throwing food away and next he was asking Jonas about the tunnels then Raven was at the other house. We’re told the Syndicate is only in the RMU area, outside of that town or the Boston area they aren’t known…but then there are chapters overseas? These are just a few of the issues.
I wanted more revenge, I wanted more take downs, I wanted to see the Syndicate actually unravel. We get very little of these things and they literally just leave and let these evil people keep going. Lame lame lame.
Oh and the Damon and Jonas thing.. out of no where. Not enough interactions between them to make it seem genuine. Couple flirty words and boom they are in love with each other too? Lost me there.
Damon is still a creep and being called Daddy just made it worse. Maverick’s growth was unimpressive. There was so much potential there. Everything felt like a chore with him.
Jonas and his golden retriever energy was the saving grace of this book. His humor, his kindness, his love for Raven was the most enjoyable part of this series. I would have been fine if it was just the two of them the whole time.
