The second half wasn't as bad, but the first half felt like a continuing repeat of the initial book.
Still hating the inner goddess thing. It's like Ana's talking to another version of herself in her head.
Getting tired of all the smirks. Does Christian make any other facial expression?
These books are a bit warped, but I have less of an issue reading about warped than I do reading about repetitive behaviors and inner goddesses.
The steam level was decent, but nothing way out there. The emails were still the only cute part of the book. I think the relationship was wayyyy too rushed, but whatever.

This is a much better cover then the first book.

I think the covers tie into the themes of the book. The first cover featured a tie that was a very prominent part of the storyline, and this one had a mask from a ball. I agree though that a tie = boring cover!
Hello! I also hate the inner goddess thing. And Christian became too "perfect" if that's even possible for such a dark character. Well, I had to drop it, but I kind of want to know what happens with them later (more likely with Christian haha) without having to read her ramblings. Care to share the spoilers?
Is it sad that I don't remember much from the last couple of books? Here's a mashup of what I remember from books 2 and 3 : (view spoiler)
And that's about it. Not much else to tell, haha.
Not sad, I have a bad memory for non amazing stuff too XD.And it sounds just like I thought about it. Although I would want to read that other POV. Christian is the only reason why I read this, Ana is just meh.

Thanks a lot :)
So in this book it's "smirks"? I hated all the "eyebrow raising" in the first one. Ugh. I'm only 14% through this one, and continuing to wonder why I'm doing this to myself...
Oh my gosh, yes! It's horrible! I just did a search on my kindle for "smirk" in this book, 91 times... Seriously?!
Wow, 91 times?!? That's ridiculous. I get that every character needs defining characteristics but they still need to be used sparingly.I would tell you to stay strong and hold on but I've had many friends who have quit out on the series. I didn't hate the books the way so many have but the more time goes by, the less I like them. There are so many other BDSM and erotica books than this one.
