This book was OK, but there was so much done to Kali throughout, and not enough of Trick making it up to her. He treated her badly (as did the whole pack), and then with seemingly minimal effort, she forgives him and all is OK then.
Editing issues: There are so many missing and wrong words used all over the place. Sentences don't make sense. It didn't just happen once or twice, but repeatedly.
Name consistency. Warren was referred to as Walter, back and forth.
Am I the only one who can't stand Trick? He treats her like total garbage from the beginning. I understand why she slept with him the first time. I truly HATE that she gave in to her body to sleep with him after he continually treated her like trash every day after that.
I am at 35%, and she is supposedly this strong badass, and yet she lets him treat her badly and lets her body dictate everything. No, girl! Have some self-respect. He needs to seriously grovel and earn this! He doesn't get to be a dick and still get laid, too!
I'm at 44%, and he's so ready to just kill her after she gives birth? How am I supposed to feel anything for this guy? Ugh, I really don't like him, and I really hope he does something great to redeem himself with her, because as it is he 100% doesn't deserve her. This whole pack is dysfunctional, and should probably be disbanded altogether.
I'm at 78%, and I don't get why he is so mad at her after Lucy attacked and she found out the truth. He has lied to her from the beginning, rejected and destroyed their mate bond, treated her badly at every turn, and she is supposed to just fall in line with what he wants? He's delusional.
OK, I finished the book, and Trick did get a little better, but in my opinion there wasn't enough groveling. He needed to do more to win her back. He was so awful to her, and she just forgives him just because. There was definitely more emotion felt between them, I just wish there had been more throughout the book. I couldn't feel anything from Trick for her up until the very end.
Why are there 4 books in between this book and the previous one in this world? I get that there are multiple authors in this series. I'm not sure why, though. These books are not in the same world at all. And now, after four books between, we are back here, and I have to remember what happened and who these people are again. It doesn't help that I don't read books in a series back to back, unless it is one long continuation of the same story. So for me, there were 21 books between. There is no reason for them to have been separated like that (or even all of these to be in the same series, to begin with).
I'm glad that this book is over. I did look ahead for any more by this author so I won't have to worry about another gap, and luckily there are no more.
