The Relentless Warrior by Rachel Higginson

3.0

I can't just stop listening to this series now that I'm committed to re-reading it. I wish I could, I do, but here I am.

And thankfully this book was much better than Avalon's, I'm shocked to say.

While I was probably the biggest hater in the Jericho hate-club during Eden's story, this book redeemed him in my eyes. I liked Olivia, I liked them together. And you know what the cutest part of it was - which wasn't even mentioned?! - Olivia being a chef fits so perfectly with Jericho who always liked to cook for everyone. *Chef's kiss* for real this time.

But you know, outside of the romance, the Terletov storyline just pissed me off. This is a guy who Eden called a "PG-13 Villain." I just simply don't believe the evil depths he's gone too, and frankly, I didn't care. There was barely any mention of the suffering of immortals in this book, especially the shapeshifters, just weird threats about the suffering, and I just forgot to care. I was just focused on when Jericho and Olivia would be back together again. Oops. The "we have to keep making a worse and worse villain" pipeline in long spinoff series just doesn't work for me.
