Gray
by Jaclyn Osborn
Well, this was definitely very.. cute.
The main thing I have to say about this book is that I absolutely adore Gray. He is the literal embodiment of a sunshine cinnamon roll, and I just wanted to take him into a big hug and not ever let go. He was so sweet, bubbly, innocent, happy and, well, cute. I never thought I could melt from someone taking a literal nap, but here we are.
Although I do have to wonder how much use in a fight he really is, since he seems to be a complete liability with the way he just falls asleep during battle.
The romance was, once again, very cute.
Mason is an ex-marine, who now spends his days hunting monsters. He's lost his ex-lover and best friend due to a monster attack, and since then he's been closed off from his emotions and generally, life seems to completely pass him by. The only thing he does is kill monsters, and he feels nothing but numbness and darkness.
However, once he meets Gray, it's like the sun comes out for the first time. He is immediately enamoured with his vibrant and adorable personality, and he is quickly charmed by his overall preciousness.
Their relationship takes off from there, and although it's sweet, I wouldn't call it an epic love story or anything. Something was missing for me to call it such.
Unfortunately I have to say that the storyline here disappointed me a little. It was surprisingly uneventful; nothing much happened aside from them hunting monsters, and that honestly became slightly repetitive. Sure, there was a big battle at the end, but I found it to be a bit rushed, and was lacking most of the flair and badass vibe from the previous book.
It's a shame, because Gray's book had the potential to make for such a cool and interesting plot. After all, Gray's dad is the only one who is still alive from all the original Fallen Angels, and since he is one of the main bad guys the brothers are fighting, I thought there would have been more about his and Gray's relationship. Especially since his dad still loves and cares about him. I was expecting some juicy stuff, but I didn't get much of it. Gray's dad was really only present for a scene or two. Wasted potential, if you ask me.
Anyway, I definitely enjoyed this book, but it could have been a little better.
Long story short; I loved Gray, I found the romance often times sweet, yet the plot was a bit lacklustre.
