Review: Missed the mark.

When I first started reading this series I thought it was a wonderful twist on the Vampire theory.  Each book drew me in deeper,  with hot body vamps who find their mates, the need to mark them as theirs, the caveman attitude that is brought to their knees by the women they love, good vs. evil who wouldn’t be enthralled. It has been almost a year since I read the previous books in this series and I was excited to learn another book had been published. However I found this one lacking substance. I didn’t feel the bond fully between the Deric and Hannah like I did with earlier books. Also I missed the interplay between the other characters wishing they had shown up earlier in the book. I also felt this book relied more on sex scenes to carry the reader through than overall storyline.  What bothers me more is that this series is very similar to S.E. Smith’s series “Cosmo’s Gateway” in which alien warriors are bonded with their mates, only Ms. Smith series was published first.  That series I felt was also better written, didn’t rely on sex to carry you through, a world of characters, humor, action and love that keeps you coming back for more. This book fell short of the others and for that reason I gave it a low rating.
