Review: Great Series at a Fantastic Price!
Rating: 3 out of 5

If it has been awhile since you read the previous ones, you NEED to review.  There are a lot of terms (Nagual, hellion, k’ul), and back history that is given prior to chapter one.  There is NO review once the story gets going and it starts right from where the last one stopped.  I loved, loved the first one, but was not as thrilled with the second and feel about the same way on this one.  Don’t get me wrong, this is a GREAT series for only .99 apiece it’s just that nothing compares to the first book as far as romance...Characters: This story is mostly about Troy and Evy and they are very cute.  Troy rescues Evy from her kidnappers and brings her back to the mansion where he is warned not to mate with a human.  Being in such close contact with her is agonizing and her attraction to him doesn’t help him stay away.  Diesel gets his prosthetic leg, Dimitri’s brother Viktor shows up unexpectedly and is a New Breed, James and Jax’s (gay) relationship is explored more and Ana begins a dangerous research of the underworld god Bane.  Victrixa is still evil and leading Ana on a wild goose chase with the “hidden” camera in her office.  X is still pining for the gorgeous Rose and finally asks her out.Writing Style: I loved the first story in the series because the relationship between SE and Ana was HOT and exciting.  I loved Victrixa as a leading bad girl but she hasn’t had much of a part in the last two books.  This one had a lot of alternating stories, but nothing half as exciting as SE and Ana’s turbulent relationship.  There was a HEAVY dose of foul language (f-word, JC, GD) and irritating slang (my man, dig?, Legit,) that I would love to see dropped.Plot: Victrixa is the head of the Initiative which consist of shifters and hellions that are determined to kill other shifters and steal their K’ul (supernatural energy) and their Naguals or guiding spirits and animal counterparts.  The opposing team is The Order which consists of the New Breed who are shifters that are chosen by the Goddess and who use super abilities to fight against the hellions. Both sides have paranormal abilities that help them in battle.  Some hellions have mutated into Rogues who retain their intelligence and band together to kill humans for their K’ul.  The Order now has to fight against these new and improved hellions who are very dangerous.Romance: The sex was between Troy and Evy in this one and it was okay…. It just didn’t measure up to Ana and SE’s love story.  Sorry, I just really loved the first book, which is why I keep reading the series.  There was also the gay relationship between James and Pax that had some descriptive parts.I keep hoping it will get better, but I am really just checking in on the characters I have come to know.  Thankfully, the books are only .99 which is really a great deal.  Each book is like a complete chapter.  There is a love story and a series of adventures to overcome Victrixa’s evil, but never a cliff hanger.Sex and Violence Rating: R –, Descriptive Sex, F-word A LOT, Jesus Christ A LOT!!!!, GD, Sht, MF, etc… profanity is used A LOT, homosexuality3 Stars
