Review: CLIFFHANGER
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 3, 2014
Having read Kiersten's Demon series, which I have greatly enjoyed, I decided to try out this new Creatures of Darkness series. The premise of the book is vampires and witches which I have no problem with. The main Vampire Mason is blood bonded to Coraline which I understand the author's concept and have no issue with. What I didn't love was that he was soo blood bonded with her that he became a little like twilight where his world revolved around her. He had been assigned to follow her for months so I do understand that he felt like on some level he knew her but to completely love her and obsess about her almost from the beginning when they'd barely had a conversation was a little much in my opinion. I also felt the erotic side of it that the "making love" scenes were very perfunctory I'm taking missionary style every time and the spicy up included doing it missionary on the floor. This book was not erotic but just romance so if you're looking for something to steam up with windows this is not it.  I did love the development of the characters Coraline has some major issues with Vampires and I like that she didn't just immediately get over it and that it was a reoccurring issue throughout the book which I appreciated compared to other books where the heroin means the hero and is immediately fixed. What I did not love about this book and almost made me rate it worse is that it is a complete Cliffhanger and I mean cliffhanger!! You're literally mid paragraph and the book just ends completely left you with no closure etc. I appreciated that the Demon series would end with a small cliffhanger (meaning a secondary character was left in the land of unknown and you could then choose to buy that book to see what happened to that character and so on throughout the series) however this book nothing is resolved there is no conclusion and you're left with nothing. Super disappointed when there appears to be no sign of a release date on Kiersten's website. So to sum up (because I don't leave things mid paragraph). If you're okay with obsession vampire and some ghost/witch paranormal and are okay with having no resolution or end to the book then this is the book for you!!
