I really wanted to like this book since I gave the first one a good 4 stars, but as I read this in one afternoon, I found myself just wishing it would end. I found the plot a little predictable and the ending felt rushed - although I found the pace of the rest of the story to be really good.I didn't like Keeton's character as even though I read M/M romance, I still like my men to be men, not a high school priss. I also found his dramatics to be incredibly irritating. To the point I wanted to put the book down. I think Mariah's character could have been developed more as the introduction of the demon realm needed more for me to buy into it. Plus I had a WTF moment when it came out that the mates could be around the shifters when in animal form without a solid explaination of why. And by the way, in the scene where Keeton was bitten by Mariah wasn't Braxton in the driveway? Because everyone else was - and when Blaise turned up in wolf form did no one think it was weird that Keeton, Braxton (if he was there) and Mariah didn't go nuts? Anyway, I wanted to like this book but I coudn't get into it because I am such a character girl and Keeton, who was endearing at the start, became grating at the story progressed. I will try the third book (Jackson and Talon) in the hope that I get my alpha males. The story looks a little different too (in a good way).
