Kadin by Mel Teshco
2.0
KADIN by Mel Teshco is the prequel to the science fiction alien romantic suspense series, Dragons of Riddich. The concept behind the story line had great potential, but the novella did not live up to it. Grace Macintosh has the ability to sense paranormal beings and is an operative for the Paranormal Detection Agency. Her next target is Kadin Marres who has been aware of Grace for a while and wants her for his mate.
Unfortunately, the world-building was inadequate in this one. To understand even a small amount of what is going on and the world situation, you have to read half of the novel, and even that is insufficient to understand why paranormals are being pursued. It felt like there was a book that should have come before this one.
Grace’s acceptance of Kadin’s remarks and her actions do not seem realistic. She was not the strong protagonist that I expected. However, the paranormal shifter’s transformation is a more believable event than in many novels. There is plenty of action, some suspense, and a few steamy scenes as well in this book.
Overall, this was a read that did not live up to my expectations. 1.5 stars rounded up to 2 stars due to the potential the story line had. I don’t plan on continuing the series.
