Aftershock by Sylvia Day

2.0

Aftershock was a much better story than Afterburn. There were more glaring editing errors in this book, but the story itself was much better told. I'm giving it a two out of five because of the fact that it didn't grip me until around chapter eight. The book only has ten chapters, so I felt like I was just stating to get into the story when it ended. Again, Sylvia Day shows her talent. The writing isn't the problem for me. It wasn't in the first book either. However, this book still felt extremely rushed. There was so much sex, and just not enough story. I'm not usually one who skims the sex scenes. I tend to find that in a lot of cases the dialogue during helps with building the emotion between the characters. However, by the time I got to chapter five, I just couldn't do it anymore. There were just so many. It would have been much better if some of that time was spent developing the characters/plot instead of filling the void with steam.
