Passion Unleashed by Larissa Ione

5.0

RE-READ

Original review can be read below in spoiler tag, but seeing that I'm not as estatic as Eidolon's book review, that means something, lol.

I read Passion Unleashed back to back with Pleasure Unbound in the weekend (I can't read in weekdays, since after work I just go to sleep. So sad, indeed) and hoo boy, that feel good. I don't have my copy of Desire Unchained, but well, Shade is not my favorite Seminus bro so I don't think that I lost some plot. Well, maybe I miss Wraith's character development, since this book is about his path into redemption and happiness.

I just wish that Wraith's disguise name is not Josh. Not that I against name Josh, but it feel...so bland *shrug*. I miss how back then (I read this book in end 2010. Gawd, time flies so fast. Again), the plot have some Indiana Jones-que feeling and re-read it make my inner adventure heart feel giddy. Add it with the Egypt setting, while not much explored still can quench my thirst for adventure. I also forget that this is the book that introduced Gethel, and its taken me aback to see she's so holy, such a goody-goody two legged angels, consider her role in the latest Demonica/LOD books. It just make me hate her much, much more and I'm glad she find her comeuppance in Revenant's book.

Yep, Wraith is not my favorite book, but don't worry bro, I dislike Shade more than you, lol! Guess, I'm a sucker for bad boy get his redemption plot, but not totally being jackass since I enjoy reading Wraith's treatment to Serena. Like I always said, Larissa Ione sure can deliver.

Spoiler Love this one, after read Shade's story that for me not as good as Eidolon's . (EDIT : re-read Desire Unchained, still not like Shade, but now I love his story)
Wraith is bad boy, but he change, he become better after meet Serena. But he still had his bad attitude and sarcasm. And don't forget his unusual sense of humor =)). After all, Wraith care for his mate, Isn't that sweeeet? :D
I love the brotherhood relationship between E, Shade and Wraith, because they're family, they're care for each other. The near end part make me almost cry :')

Glad finally Wraith find his own family and happiness with Serena.
