shelleyrae's review
3.0
Unfortunately my library didnt have the first in this series so I probably missed a few threads along the way.
Initially I found it hard to get into - I was sick at the time so not at my sharpest and what threw me most was Evan Lachlan being referred to as either name - it took me a while to figure out it was the same person (since Evan and Lachlan are both common first names - and I was feverish lol) There were also a lot of flashbacks that were pretty jarring but I eventually found a rythym and ended up enjoying the story.
I enojoyed Evan and Holly's banter and i liked watching Jamey and Cam's relationship develop.
It tackles some pretty serious issues - child trafficking, child prostitution, homophobia and gay rights but since I agree with Rawn's agenda on all counts I was happy to see such prosaic issues have a place in a novel of this genre which is pretty rare.
The magic is not as center stage as I had initially expected but there are some interesting magical concepts.
There are a few threads left dangling, for the next novel I assume - I hope to get my hands on the first of the series before I pick up the next.
