I'm really liking how the POVs shift and how we have a new couple's story with each novel (two in this one), but also have ongoing overarching romances as well. I sometimes enjoy those just as much if not more ;) I'm really hoping Gabe develops well as a character. Trance was a very good character :) I like his complexities and, well, it'd been a little while since I'd read a Dom story :)3.8 As these two writers evolve (two women writing as Sydney Croft), the books get a stronger voice and more defined characters. That's what saves them from being run-of-the-mill. They are indeed totally predictable on a visceral level, it's just the storyline that alters somewhat. Again, as I've said before, it's also reminiscent of Black Dagger Brotherhood as each character has a 'book', there is a blind 'king'/boss (who doesn't necessarily stay blind) and each ACRO agent has his/her own specialness...such as speed, super-strength, the ability to contact/communicate with the dead AND they deal with their 'gifts' with the same struggles as our BDB guys do. Am enjoying but these are not books I would re-read as with BDB or god forbid, '50'.
Do You like book Gespielin Des Feuers (2000)?
I'm hooked on this series. I've just started this book. More to come soon.
