Riptide is the little publishing house that could. This little band of talent is putting out a quality product like I've not seen before in the M/M genre. The Dark Soul series and the other works I have read from their catalogue are incredibly well-researched. The writing and editing are virtually impeccable. As the genre becomes more popular there are so many badly written and under-edited M/M books being published. It is refreshing to see that authors like Aleksandr Voinov (and Damon Suede, Kari Gregg, Rachel Haimowitz {who also served as Aleks's editor this time out}, Andrea Speed and LA Witt) are committed to giving the reader the best reding experience they can provide. Their hard work and dedication to the reader is evident in the product they give us. It is much appreciated by their fans.Dark Soul Vol. 5 is perfect. I didn't want to see the end of these brilliantly written characters, but if it had to end, this was the way to do it. Flawlessly executed characters that drew me into their world and obliterated the line between good and evil.I was torn about how I wanted the relationships Aleks created in the first four volumes to be resolved. Along with a very (very) hot sex scene, resolution was provided in the best way I could have hoped for. It'd be nice to maybe have a short to see how they fare at some point in the future (hint, hint). Not because I'm selfish or anything...
