This one I'm going to have to give only 2 and half stars. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there was just not enough there between Dimitri & Kerestyn. Everything about their meeting, to their "relationship" to their union was just too easy. Way too fast. Too simple. And not believable or even emotionally charged in my opinion.Now I loved Gannon (would not mind knowing more about him) I'm very intrigued with Gabriel and the obvious opening for his story that you will read about in this book. And of course at the end, I'm a bit intrigued by Falcon & Sonya. Heck even Hadrian. But the way this story unfolded, I will admit it had a few moments as far as the suspense and action. But even these moments were fleeting. Holding no real sinister darkness either. Even with the "villian" Ven.. Puh-Lease! And for most of this story, your two main characters read with no true depth. As individuals or as a couple. I need to feel that this type of connection is there. It doesn't work when the author is just "saying" it is there. I need to feel it & see it. Therefore I will love it. But I didn't get this with Dimitri & Kerestyn.Now I will admit I did  read this series out of sequence. I have not read the first book. But since I am not a huge fan of Historical-Paranormal books, I chose to bypass it. I was able to follow the story here, with no confusion when things in the past referring to the first book, were brought up. So I doubt that my not reading the first book, affects my feelings and views concerning this one. I was just really not feeling this one all that much. Although, I would always come back to see if things improved. So I guess that's saying something huh? It keeps you interested enough to come back. I'm still on the fence on whether or not I will read the first book.So, if you are a fan of Ms. Green and you have read the 1st book and like it, then I would recommend you read this one. If your views are like mine, then hey, the choice is up to you.
