Perversion or relationship?

[Nym182]

We are talking about a serial killer who has sniffed blood here!

I totally blocked out that he sniffed the blood...

He definitely sniffed blood there!

I am totally not surprised.

[Nym182]

Yes, I wonder what the author was trying to do!

It's like she took a character from another book and tried to make him fit in.

From a detective fiction, I guess with Adam as the antagonist.

sounds about right ha

[Howlan]

The serum is the perfect incest scapegoat!

A perfect thing to ruin many appetites!

You got that right ha Definitely put me off mine!

yeah it was almost a given.

[Howlan]

Agreed!

The author should work on these twists more as most of us had enough of Adam!

Maybe the author will "twist" him right out of the series (doubtful though ha)

Doubtful as Adam is the main character.

[Howlan]

It's got a lot of good reviews on Amazon as well!

Yes, I understand the thrill aspect of the book though.

I suppose haha

I admire any book which has a good thrilling aspect.

[Howlan]

Right? Jo returning those feelings just took it too far...

Yeah it really felt like an erotica at that point.

Right? like... reading about the serum I begrudgingly admitted that at least there was an excuse (albeit a weak one) but when I read that I was like "ok you just get right out of town!"

"And never come back again"

[Howlan]

I mean, I guess I will give the author some credit for thinking outside the box by trying to give Adam the quickest turn around from evil psychopath to an all-around good guy.

I will not though. I relish reading about character developments so such change without any significant character development is unacceptable.

I said "trying"

Ya I see that haha.

[Howlan]

I agree! haha I very rarely put down a book even if I hate it

I am guilty of putting down some books which I find too monotonous with no grip.

yeah, I get that... honestly if I wasn't reviewing it for this website I probably would have stopped reading after Carly burned down the den.

Yeah but you have an option to stop reading if you hate it very much.

[Howlan]

I agree! Honestly, I'm not quite sure WHERE to put this book... I just know it's not going into the YA genre. And you are right, it would have become a slippery slope very quickly had he crossed that line.

This book belongs to the genre "Bad for young adults"

And thus a new genre was born!

And will the source of controversy for a long time!

[Howlan]

I was not ready!

One of the shocks I will remember for a while!

samsies... really gives a whole new meaning to "don't judge a book by its cover" ... or its synopsis!

Yeah I was missing that epic line!

[Howlan]

Agreed, I can see what the author was trying to do, the execution just wasn't done well enough to justify such an extremely dark path Adam was on.

Yes, I am quite sure the author had different plans in the beginning of the book.

that would make a lot of sense.

And it could have been interesting too!

[Howlan]

Agreed! Personally, it probably wasn't worth sticking with it though...

Yeah the author should have started with a random encounter of an Iksha and a Descendant, not with this stuff.

oh yeah, that sounds like an interesting book! It sounds like a good prequel!

Yeah especially if it portrays a young Dauma and Alexandria.

[Howlan]

I totally blocked out that he sniffed the blood...

He definitely sniffed blood there!

I am totally not surprised.

Yes it is not quite suprising really!

[Howlan]

It's like she took a character from another book and tried to make him fit in.

From a detective fiction, I guess with Adam as the antagonist.

sounds about right ha

It would have been cool!

[Browlyns]

You must remember JoAnn was also attracted to Adam but in secret because of what is in their blood. Remember Dauma told Adam that had Carly not come, Adam would have wandered around the globe searching for love.
