Revealing the Monster by Amelia Hutchins
3.0
2.5-3 stars.
I was disappointed in this one. I really enjoy Amelia's writing normally, but this installment in the series seemed bad in comparison to the rest. Were the first few books this violent? I don't remember sex being so violent for Lucian and Lena in the past books. He constantly refers to her as a bitch also which annoys me, and there's a smutty sex scene every few pages it seems. I like my smut but it should be adding something to a plot line not just dragging it out.
I went back and opened book three and did a search to see if Lucian refers to Lena as a bitch a bunch and refers to her greedy cu*t and no... Those things didn't happen in prior books... This book tool a turn towards violence and bdsm, which isn't a bad thing necessarily but it didn't fit with what I expected from their existing love story and I didn't really like it.
One thing I liked though was Amelia slipping in a Jake from State farm joke haha that totally cracked me up :)
