When Lightning Strikes, Credence Curse, Sedona VenezReview from jeannie zelos book reviews.I loved the first part of this series, and was looking forward to this novel. Somehow though it didn't grab me as much as book one, its still a good read, don't get me wrong, but there were quite a few niggles for me. I still don't like the girls mum/aunt – irritating personalities, and they seem to turn Storm and Light from ladies into truculent teenagers when they are with them, and it just feels so wrong.Anyway, this continues the murder and break-in investigations...Light finds out more about her background, and she's in danger so local hottie wolfshifter Ryker agrees to protect her. He's Alpha of the local pack and Lord of Souls...something like that – it means he rules over all the shifters, and he's currently got his hands full broking for peace within all the different types of Others. He's got the hots for Light, but only does casual, nothing permanent for him, and his usual taste is for Submissive ladies and Light is anything but! Still, she's got it bad for him too, but hates his arrogance. Somehow though they find a way to get together and after all the hot, erotic sex talk they create lots of steam...Knox and Storm from the last book are here too, along with half vampire lawyer Reason and a few other shifters. It's a decent read, good basic story leading on and deeper from book one, allied to a good sexy romance, but I still got irritated by the aunt and mum, Light's constant sharpness, even when people were helping her she was snarky and unappeciative and Rykers constant arrogant attitude. I understood their problems but think Light was overly rude at times. Ryker –  I liked him, even though he had that Alpha arrogance, he'd been put into a position of heavy responsibility which he never wanted, but accepted as it was the right thing to do. The ending...arghh...dammit, the dreaded cliffhanger – I so HATE  those...by time book three is out I've got past the momentum of the drama and it falls flat. I feel i've only got half a story, nothing is yet concluded and I feel I've just been left in limbo, hence the lower stars. Still, that's just me, others don't mind them.Overall its a fun, sexy read, story cointiues well from book one, it has a damn cliffhanger though...Stars: three and a half.
