Just like Syn, I too sometimes forget that Ryder is NOT human, so he is not going to act like one. I was really proud of Syn for standing up for herself and telling Ryder that she needs more from a relationship then just ownership – she needs love. Ryder and Synthia NEEDED this conversation, desperately, and I really enjoyed it. It was done just how I wanted it and pumped the book up so much for me. FINALLY, Syn is speaking up, asking all the questions, saying exactly what I have been waiting for. This was the turning point of the novel that was so beautifully done. So I’m frustrated with his character because he is still not treating Syn’s character better, and I’m frustrated with her character for letting him treat her that way.Īnd THEN, Synthia goes through her transition period. I was SO sure that Ryder’s feelings had developed at the end of the last novel, and his actions in these beginning scenes are proving other wise. Though this was very sexy, and the bond between Ryder and Syn is one of the hottest I have read and I truly love them together, I was disappointed on an emotional level. The plot continued in a way that was reminiscent of the middle of the first book. Here is my evaluation of the novel’s plot:īeginning 1/3 – The beginning started out by picking up exactly where the last novel ended. I will tell you now that my complaints have all been answered in the newest addition to this series! The characters developed in a way that made me start to not only understand, but also start to truly love them. I also was not fully warmed up to Ryder’s character because all his actions towards Synthia were not honorable or from a place of love.

Not to mention Ryder was super steamy! Although, I did have a minor general complaint from the last book, which was that I felt like the secondary characters were not developed enough to keep them from falling flat. The world was so interesting and kept me invested throughout the first of the series.

I was so excited to start this book! I really enjoyed the first novel in the series.
