Yep. I've been hit right in the freaking feels centre with this oneThis is a great series. I have read all three books in about as many days and reviewed them - each approximately 350 pages, so I was thoroughly invested. If you like fantasy / paranormal in a contemporary setting I highly recommend Submerging Inferno, Rising Frenzy and now Clashing Tempest.The world building continues - I am in awe of Brandon Witt's loving development of his characters and the world they live in.These characters will forever stay with me and I hope to see more of them as part of further books. I am now here tap, tap, tapping my right foot. The good thing is, there are some interesting characters to go on with - and one I am deeply invested in. I need their stories to be told asap!I must say that Costa Rica came to life. I swear I was there. The Vampire Cathedral was so clear and frightening in its decadence.The mer and the sea really were the stars of Clashing Tempest for me.The pure malevolence and cruelty was starkly vivid and upset me at times.Characters died. One I loved. Rip my heart and hope out why don't you Mr Witt...*sighs*Carefully crafted writing - whenever something would arise in the plot where I thought it could be illogical or it would need explaining, it would be answered perfectly. In paranormal and fantasy you need to be dead balls-on accurate. It was.Clashing Tempest ties up the vampire stalker, the Voice, the call to the Vampire Cathedral, the Brett / Finn /Schwint triangle. Did I get what I wanted? Nope. I did not get my pairing. But that's okay, really, I will very maturely rant and rave and hit my pillow when I go to bed a bit later.I can't say a lot about the book without spoilers but a full review, as spoiler free as possible, is at [...]...
