Power Struggle by Carolyn Arnold
3.0
This is the second book I have read from this author and the first in this series. While there are some references to the prior novel in regards to Madison's relationship involving Constantine and her vengeance for revenge; I felt that this book could still be read as a stand alone novel.
The beginning was good. I saw and felt Madison's anger towards Constantine. Yet, this is where the downside of having not read the prior novels in this series comes into play. The momentum that I was feeling in the beginning dissipated. This is because there was a lot of conversation happening and not much else. If I had built this relationship with the other characters and a strong bond with Madison, I probably would not have minded it as much. Yet, I struggled to stay in the moment. However, if you can stick with the storyline a while longer, it does start to pick up momentum at the half way point. Madison got stronger along the way as well for me. This is a good read.
