Slade

Didn't finish. I stopped at the first rape scene, when they have sex in the middle of the wood, because the poor woman was cold. She gets closer and touches the man chest, so he could not keep it in his pants... so he tells her something like: we do sex now or you froze only.

Sweet and steamy with lots of action!

I enjoyed some elements of this one even more than Fury's story. Slade and Trisha having to survive in the wilderness was great and the big fight at the new Reservation was really exciting and well written. Without spoiling any plot points, I'm really interested to see how things go for these two and New Species as a whole! The character dialogue has definitely improved over the first book. Trisha and Brass' friendship has been really fun to watch develop. I definitely want more Brass! The love scenes are still hot!! The only thing missing for me was more descriptive language overall. I could hear the character's voices but beyond the initial descriptions of the characters' appearances early on I was missing some visual and sensory cues throughout. For example, I loved the initial description of Slade's long hair but I missed any sense of its movement during fights or how it would feel in the love scenes. Not a deal breaker but I found myself seeking more detail and trying to add it in mentally myself. Still enjoying the series! Valiant's story should be interesting!

She is no Kresley Cole nor JR Ward, but as far as PNR go, it is very reasonable; the beginning was useless since it had little conection to the story, but it was an interesting plot, believable and with enough action.
