A review by katiemack
The Dangerous Ones by Lauren Blackwood
3.0
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
2.5, rounded up. I would have enjoyed this far more if Lauren Blackwood had expanded the lore (Civil War-era America with Sasquatches, werewolves, vampires, and some category of fighter called "saints"? Sign me up!) and gotten rid of the romance. Insta-love is already a pet peeve of mine, but the way Alexei unequivocally adores her immediately with no explanation annoyed me--especially with the way Jerusalem treats him. (If I had to read one more anachronistic use of "dumbass" I would have thrown my Kindle across the room.)
