The one character I didn’t like was Corin, not because he was poorly written but because he didn’t seem to understand the meaning of the word no. There was also Cain, *SPOILER (for Book 1)* (Jehenne’s brother from her past life) *END SPOILER* who turned out to be a pretty interesting, mysterious character, and the relationship that grew between him and Jehenne was sometimes rough and full of arguing but also sweet. He definitely had a temper and knew how to be cruel when he wanted to be, but he was still a good person. So even though she was still fairly emotional, it was for good reason.Īs for Corvus, he was a little less perfect, which was a good thing as I don’t like when characters are too perfect. I could also understand her wanting to have a child someday and being upset by the fact that that wouldn’t happen with Corvus since, as a vampire, he can’t have children. It annoyed me even more that everyone kept insinuating sex and love are the same thing and that the only way to “prove” she loved him was to have sex with him. It annoyed me that no one else in the book seemed to understand that and kept pressuring her to sleep with him already. I thought it was mature of her to realize that, even though she loved Corvus, she was still young and shouldn’t rush into a decision about spending eternity (literally, since they’re immortal) with someone she really hadn’t known for very long. I completely understood her hesitancy to complete the bond with Corvus. She seemed more mature and didn’t make as many bad decisions. Jehenne herself was less frustrating this time.
Jehenne was really stuck between a rock and a hard place and that scene when she walked into Corvus’s office was rough, and poor Corvus, well, I too would’ve been hurt if I had been in his position. I like some good angst and drama and high emotion in romance, and this book gave me that, especially since I could understand why both characters were so upset. Both Jehenne and Corvus have passionate, explosive personalities with strong emotions, and unlike in the first book when it made them seem overdramatic, this time it worked in the book’s favor. First of all, the thing I loved most about this second book in the series was all the emotion.
