I was a little embarrassed whenever someone came upon me reading this book - it is a bit smutty! Not as good as the prequel to this book, unfortunately (Dark Angels). An entertaining read, but it tends to go on and on.
I had high hopes for this book and was greatly let down. I read it about a year ago and was left scratching my head. I fell like this story could have been a lot better, but that the author was trying to make the book into something it was not.
