Shadow's Kiss by T.M. Hart
1.0
Where to start?
I bought this book because of the rating and was sorely disappointed.
Let’s start with the main character Violet, she is supposed to be a really bad-ass woman who knows what she wants... I get that she lost her memory and is confused, in some scenes the writer gave me hope when she tried to steer conversations and gather data. To my disappointment though she gets derailed and discouraged quite easily. Most of her inner monologues felt like self pity to me as well. What bothered me the most and had me almost throwing my kindle clear across the room was the fact that she dislikes Elijah decides she won’t take any more crap from him... And then yes you guessed it she proceeds to take crap from him. Maybe I just don’t like her because I am spoiled by writers that give me amazing female characters. I honestly just wanted to throttle Violet the entire book basically.
She also at one point *spoiler alert* finds Elijah ‘nurses’ him back to health and suddenly he is willing to share his secrets/ hopes/ dreams... It just felt like a lot was missing there.
Elijah... I can handle misguided male leads but this guy is just plain abusive without excuses and the next thing you know he’s ripping her clothes of and almost sleeping with her, to then loathe her again. The reasons that were given as to why he treats her this way, were severely lacking in my personal opinion. More over at the end of the book she gets captured by some thugs on the street and held captive, she manages to escape with the help of someone she basically just met. He tracks her down and proceeds to just rip her clothes off in some alley (???) because he’s highly possessive of her and must just have her then and there (what?!).
I finished this book, I won’t be continuing this series. All in all if you want a mindless read with some explicit scenes this might be for you just don’t expect too much character depth or world building. I wanted it to be so much more and just got frustrated trying to finish it, since the main characters just started to annoy me to no end.
Hopefully my review will be of use to at least some of you!
