Review: Surprisingly Good!

I love this author's assassin and 12 Olympian series, but for some reason didn't think I would really like this one. As note above, I found it to be surprisingly good! Although I have to admit that I'm driving myself crazy trying to remember where the Youngblood were mentioned before in the Assassin series...I know they were, but just can't remember in which book.Anyway, the two main characters are very likable and well-developed. I particularly enjoyed Jordan (aka, Dr Nasty); his growth over the course of the book, his developing sense of humor, his willingness to express his emotions...all were wonderful to watch and enjoyable to read about. I also like Stefan/o, but he wasn't quite as unique, and there wasn't as much growth; I did enjoy his darker side. The secondary characters were great, particularly Antonio, Marco, Damon and Bethany. It was nice to see a story extend well out into the future to actually show the characters' lives past their HEA momentThe only down side I found was that both the external and internal dialogue of the two main characters often got a bit too angsty, a bit too over the top with how "in lurvvvvv" the two characters were with each other. Really had some purple prose going on...That said, I liked the book and it is well worth a read!
