Possession by J.R. Ward
3.0
I’ve really been enjoying the Fallen Angels series; but sadly, Possession was not one of my favorite installments. For starters I wasn’t all that interested in the soul on deck this round and their surrounding story. As one knows by now, the soul in question is not always clearly defined. This round brings us mousy graphic artist Cait Douglass; ready to get out there and live after being dumped 3 years prior by her college sweetheart (Soft bellied Thom I believe he was referred to as). Anywho, thanks to a demon-inspired dye bob Cait is ready to strut her stuff and she soon finds she must choose between 2 attractive and enigmatic (her words not mine) men. Will it be the smarmy, self-absorbed singer-actor G.B; or the Caveman one-word-wonder Duke? What girl wouldn’t be frothing at the mouth for a piece of that? In fairness, Duke does work nights bouncing at the Iron Mask and reports directly to Alex Hess – so…one kinda cool point? And – he gets to see John Matthew skulking around (for anyone counting BDB references).
Meanwhile in war camp; Jim (our Savior?) has his head so far up his ass it’s about to come out of his mouth (Now there’s a visual, and Devina wouldn’t have to keep crying about being so ugly). Jim is turned all around because of Sissy (who may eventually be “Something”) and he’s not in the game, or the war – for most of the installment. Adrian does his best to keep things from going to hell (quite literally); but it seems like in this round EVERYONE is cheating (except for Jim, who isn’t even playing). And Devina; snuggling up to the Savior for some cuddles? Worst demon Ever.
Sadly while there were some interesting moments, this installment brought me a lot of boring.
