Plus there was lighting in a moonlit forest, so that was an awesome image. In fact there is even one that is rather rough but both parties are enjoying it and clearly wanting to continue it. To be clear, there are several consensual acts in the book.
Even if you can understand where Lachlain is coming from (his recent years of torture and deep hatred for vampires), it doesn’t make his actions excusable. And it’s not just one instance of non-consensual sexual acts there’s at least 4.
Obviously, I found it hard to see Lachlain as the hero after that. And that’s when things get a bit a rapey. When he finally tracks down Emmaline, he’s still a bit crazed with disgust for all vampires and remembered pain from the fires. Lachlain senses his mate above him on the streets of Paris and that gives him the strength to finally break free. The vampires have been torturing him for 150 years by having him chained over a fire, letting him cook to death, regenerate, and cook again. Lachlain is an immortal, which means he can heal from nearly anything.
I never became particularly attached to the characters and I found several aspects boring to distasteful. This isn’t my typical read but I have been trying to expand my book horizons a bit. While their initial meeting will be tumultuous, they will have to join forces to face down a mighty foe – the leaders of the vampire horde. Werewolf Lachlain MacRieve, recently broken free from his captivity, hunts his mate. I heard from other readers who have enjoyed the series that this was the first book published and later a prequel, which became Book 1, was published.Įmmaline Troy, a half-vampire, half-Valkyrie, is out on her own for the first time in Paris seeking answers about her dead parents. Note: While this is Book 2 in the series, it works just fine as a stand alone novel.
