Rhyker's Key
by M.C. Solaris
Book 2 was just as good, if not better than book 1! Picking up where "Calypso's Heart" left off, Rhyker now takes center stage as he tries to work through his personal demons and woo the shifter lady of his dreams. . . who has her own baggage to carry. The chemistry between Keena and Rhyker is off the charts, and their banter is hilarious. There are times when I found myself vocally begging them to actually TALK to one another about their issues and feelings rather than trying to one-up each other in the flirting/not-flirting department. (Just like a few couples I know in real life.)
It was also wonderful to get views into Caly and Blake's life as part of the pack. I adored this couple in the first book and was thrilled that they weren't simply pushed to the wayside now that their book is done. Nico and Aleie's story ramp-up was also delved into in this volume. It makes for a nice segue into more books in the series. . . but it took enough reading time away from Rhyker and Keena that I started loosing track of them. (Please don't get me wrong, I ADORE Nico and his broody ways.)
The pack dynamic is always so vibrant and energetic. Everyone has a fully fleshed-out personality that adds to the feeling of diversity, family, and home. From Monday Movie Nights to brotherly brawls that take out the entire front room, they are a high octane group that does everything at full force - including perusing the love of their lives.
This is not a quick read. The page count, like the details that describe the world the characters inhabit, is not skimped on. There were a few moments that I felt the pacing dragged a bit, but never so much that I wanted to give up the book. The few writing issues that I had with the first installment are no where to be found in this volume. It was a fun read from beginning to end and I am looking forward to more books by this author.
Recommended for fans of Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and Laurel K. Hamilton.
