OK... The 5th book in The Scarab Beetle series didn't do much for me. Maybe because there's been quite a while since I read the previous 4 books and the momentum is just simply gone. I had forgotten the 'group' chemistry and happenings. I guess it's always the risk factor with series.
I always loved Raven's character. I have something for book-Russians. Exotic... yet not really because Russians are just across the border from me and plenty of them in Estonia. So, that would allow me to always put a critical eye to the Russian characters in books- are they well done or not. Raven is.
The only, and I mean the only, bit I loved about this book was Raven and Corey's development. That was truly and utterly HOT! Raven and Corey are extremes to each other in terms of their personalities but I could see them working out so so so well. I think I'm actually going to highlight this section in the book and read it again... that was intense! :D
Other than that, as said, I had forgotten the stories 'crime' line and the momentum was just gone for me and I skipped quite a bit of 'pondering' bits in the book just to get the lowdown and move on.
Will I read the next book or will I stop with the series here? I wouldn't not know the answer to this.
