This is the second book in the Destiny's Trinities series, and the writing is better. Once again the sex scene's between adults is hot. The story is clearer, and any ridiculous moves made by the characters are immediately explained and justified. Mia, Alex, and Wyatt are forming a new Trinity against the Vampeen, but they individually have no great destiny so the focus is on these three people coming together. Wyatt is hunter, so for him forming a romantic relationship with a Vampire is extremely difficult, but the fact that he is able to resign himself to it in about 100 pages is explained, and makes sense.My issue with this story is Alex and Mia's relationship. The bottom line is that Alex is a pedophile. When he was 33 he began to work with 16 year old Mia's brother's in a mob type organization. He was already extremely sexually experienced and was known for his "freaky" taste. He is into BDSM, Anal Sex, and is openly Bisexual. Mia is a sheltered virgin. Mia decides that he is hot and has a crush on him. It turns out that the attraction is mutual and Alex fantasizes about Mia. When she is 17 they start fooling around. He basically crawls in her window and allows her to "seduce" him. Then on her 18th birthday they have rough sex in her kitchen and that is how she losses her virginity (both vaginal and anal). Frankly it was gross. No man over 30 has any business with a 16 or 17 year old girl. It's disgusting. The fact that she is portrayed as the seducer in the book is also ridiculous. She is a sheltered teenager, she has no sexual interaction with boys, and doesn't even go on her first date until she is 17. How is this naive girl able to sexually overbear a man who is well known for his prowess and escapades. And the idea that the child is responsible or the aggressor is a excuse that pedophiles give all the time.The excuse that they are part of a Trinity can not even be given because both Zach and Luke were able to restrain themselves from pursuing Beth for fear of hurting her physically and emotionally respectively, and she was a 32 year old woman when they met. The fact that Mia was so young when she met Alex wasn't even necessary to the story. He didn't need to be twice her age for there to be the Romeo/Juliet aspect. The fact the he was new, white, from another state, and simply male would have been enough for her brother's to not want Alex around Mia. He could have been 19 to her 17. Or if the author wanted him in his 30's and for there to be an age difference Mia could have been in college. 20 going on 21 is still young for a 34-35 year old man but in those four years she could have gained some emotional maturity, and still been a sheltered virgin.To say that he ruined her for other men is a joke. The woman was sexually traumatized from multiple sexual assaults by a pedophile. I agree with her brother's, if I found out a man twice my teenage sister's age was having sex with her I'd want to kill him too. I don't know if I'll be reading the third and final installment in this series. Even though the books are about 100 pages, the adult sex is hot, and I am curios to see what happens in this world the author seems to have issues with women, which is crazy since she is one.
