Fettered and Alien Tails are far better books--they're both amazing! Unforgettable. This one has its moments but no real lasting connection and a significant amount of dull parts alongside superb parts.

Now that the army plot has concluded, the focus has shifted to sexual interaction between V and C. And I don't care. I find myself skimming. There has been no sexual tension between them for so very long that it seems odd now. And definitely no romance. The story is good but there needed to be more interweaving of action and growing relationship closeness.

Hmm, getting dragging. This section is making me skim read, eyes getting kinda glazed. There's no significant furthering of V and C's relationship, no furthering of the "psycho" plot, and a lot of boring talk about minor characters I don't care about.

And Charleston is equally interesting, even though I never get his POV. He's so strong and in control yet I see cracks....

Vinnie is so interesting! He's cocky, mouthy, confident, but so incredibly lacking in self-preservation when faced against his desire to be dominated and surprised. And I think his confident front hides a deep inner shame and loathing because he too glibly talks about his own stupidity.

@o@ shit just got crazy

*shakes head* Vinnie, Vinnie, Vinnie. You're taking a stranger back to your apartment?! Haven't you just been warned like a... bajillion times how lucky you've been with your stupid stunts? So lucky that said luck is sure as shirt gonna run out....

"A little anger was an aphrodisiac, but this much was just too fucking terrifying."

Shit, this Vinnie needs a keeper! He's so unguarded, so unthinking, so naive AND he's a fear-thrill seeker. He's a danger unto himself!

Ah, a challenge! Vinnie wants unpredictable, does he?
