Jane is taking a mini-holiday with her new boyfriend Rick, when she’s suddenly called back to New Orleans by her boss, Leo Pellisier, because Weres announced their existence to the world. And soon Jane is once again placed in the middle of a turf war, this time between vampires and their old enemy the weres. When Jane is sent to deliver a message for Leo, she’s attacked by a group of werewolves intent on sending a message to Leo, but she’s saved by an intriguing stranger, Girrard. Girrard who used to be Leo’s Mercy Blade, but who Leo now hates and wants dead.
What is the mystery between Leo and Girrard, and why has Girrand now suddenly come back when he’s been gone for many years? And it that’s not enough, Rick has stopped making contact with Jane, and soon Jane founds out he’s been seen with another woman. Everyone seems to be hiding things from Jane, things that could get her hurt, or worse killed.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Once again I find myself struggling with this series. I like Jane, the way she fights, how fond she is of her weapons, but I’m tired of how attractive she finds every other guy, and in this one her low self-esteem because of Rick the asshole really grated on my nerves. Also, why does almost every guy Jane meet want to sleep with her?? And how does Jane not lose her shit and tell everyone to fuck off when they keep on hiding things from her??
There aren’t a lot of things I hate more than love triangles and cheating, and both was in overabundance in this instalment. I’m really not surprised at Rick’s actions Then there was Jane and Bruiser. I know they have great chemistry, but her own reactions to him made me lose all respect for her. I would have preferred it there was no romance AT ALL in this series, because the plot is really captivating and interesting, but all the other unnecessary drama with all the love interests are ruining everything for me >: (
Beast was definitely the only thing that worked for me in this book. I just love her. Oh and Derek and Wrassler were awesome too.
I honestly don’t know if I’m going to continue with this series. I keep on thinking it will get better or that perhaps I’m just reading everything wrong….. but so far my feelings stay the same. This book was actually the worst so far :-(.
