Review: 4.5 Stars! Kindred Series Addiction~!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is really closer to a 4.5 but again, the half star omission on all sites. I LOVE the Kindred Series. It is a becoming a formula series that has the *exact* recipe I love. I feel confident, as a reader, when I begin a Kindred installment I'll enjoy the following: hot romance, alpha-males coming out of my ears, action, intrigue, sci-fi and evil plotters who get theirs in the end. How could one ask for more?What I loved: the Alpha males! Wow! They're just so over-the-top male and I especially loved the introduction of the less-than-perfect Merrick and the twist at the end that makes me want the next book. Now they're the kind of couple I want to read about! I also enjoyed the "new evil" that Anderson has foreshadowed. The plot turns and twists kept the tension right where I like it to be; taut. I don't like "boggy" reads and Anderson never disappoints, keeping the pace on a tightwire throughout the entire read. Love it!What I wasn't as keen on: Rask and Nadiah. Meh. They were okay and I loved how Anderson did a slow reveal on his background but there was something kind of "blah" with Nadiah and their whole romantic entanglement didn't read "true" enough for me and seemed rushed (even though the book is 130K!). But, that said, Anderson is terrific at giving a spotlight to other characters via introduction in the storyline, making us want to see the continuation of their story. I can't wait to read Merrick and Elise's' story!Fans of the Kindred Series are going to love this installment!Readers that like J.R. Ward and the BDB Series and also want that sci-fi vibe should really love these stories. They can't be beat for the price!
