Part II of the Kraken King is even better than Part I. If I had to describe this part using three words I would use: secrets, tension and "whoa" followed by some teeth clattering.Okay so that last wasn't really a word so much as an exclamation, but I was on the edge of my seat while reading this. The reason why is not unpredictable, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable to read. In fact, I think it will be a scene I return to simply just because I liked it so much. If you're familiar with it, this part reminded me of one of my all time favorite B movies, Tremors. This book may not have Kevin Bacon but there was this one scene between the hero and heroine that had my eyes all but glued to my Kindle.The secrets and tension concern the protagonists of the story. Both Zenobia and Ariq have secrets and people they are protecting, yet they are increasingly drawn to one another. As they feel each other out and tentatively flirt the intensity between them builds at a steady pace. I cannot help but suspect that Meljean Brook will continue to increase the pressure until I won't be able to turn the pages fast enough.This story is moving forward very nicely. The world Brook has built is almost tangible to me, and between that and the characters my brain is kept extra busy taking it all in. I can't wait to get started on Part III.
