I really hate to say this cos I love my girl KA, but IMO, she should not write PNR. Granted this is the 1st book in this series. We all know that alot of times 1st books are hard to get through. Which I call "1st book syndrome" With the world building etc.. these things are often times slow and hard to get through. But what my problem was, well one of them, with this book is that 85% of this book was not really world building. It was being stuck in a nice house, on nice property with a cook, a childish 40 year old woman getting away with countless acts of defiance with an eight hundred and twenty two year old vampire. For lack of a better word, it was boring. There was nothing put on the pages that was gripping, emotional, heartfelt anything. It drove me nuts waiting for something to click and cause all of this suffering to be worth it. But Sadly this did not happen.Now this isn't hard to figure out from my previous comment, but I did not like the lead h in this story, Leah. And even though she got a bit better during the last segments of this book, it was too little too late for me. Since majority of this book set her in a very unfavorable light.Lucien:Very ALPHA of course. But for me nothing sexy, nothing compelling about him really. This is PNR. And with Lucien I am missing that underlining animalistic essence that is usually present amongst Alpha vampire males.There is brief and when I say brief I mean very brief set up for the next book or books to this series. Alot of things that happen in the latter part of this story could have and should have been mentioned early on in the story. IMO, I think it would have helped in the set up of wanting me to come back for book 2, but it also would have made this story ALOT more interesting. Giving purpose to why we're even reading about Lucien & Leah in the first place.I understand book 2 is to go into the world of Werewolves. I'm hoping KA does alot better on that front. But I am not certain yet if I will be reading the 2nd installment to this series.So I can not in good faith say that I would recommend this read.And I am really sick & sad that I can't say that about my girl KA's effort... So if you'll excuse me.
