Review: Great Story But Moved Really Slow

I hate these kinds of reviews, the ones where you really enjoyed the basic story but other things in the book threw you off the story from time to time.Katie and Marcus made a great example of a love/hate relationship since they were really conflicted at the start of this story.  The action separated by passionate scenes which seemed to be trying much to hard to get the reader involved in S & M a bit were about 50/50 passionate/distracting, I don't need mini-scenes of 50 Shades in my reading.The main story of a group that is trying to kill/torture them is riveting enough to carry this novel but the author seemed to overwrite this story at every turn, this book is estimated at 368 pages, from my reading she could have shaved off about 100 of those, the verbiage was my main detraction, I had to do some skimming to get back to the action with no real loss of the plot or story.The ending few chapters were excellent, the resolution was well done, a bit of humor and surprise added at the end was nice.Bottom Line: Great story, the telling of it was much too long and might lose some readers, sexual scenes were much less enticing than the author intended I am sure. 3.5 Stars rounded down for all the extra pages, other readers might rate it higher. It can be read as a stand alone but there is a book 1 (Pack & Coven) that apparently is the story of a couple of characters we see appear in this novel and there are enough things left to write a sequel if desired.
