The Temple by Emily Shore
3.0
Decent sequel
Like the other books, this third installment dives more into the themes of human trafficking, rape, sexual assault, abuse, and torture. Each book has similar themes but different levels of exposure to each theme. This one dives more into the sadistic nature of Director Force and we finally get to meet Serafina and Bliss/Mara!
A lot of the newness of this series has worn off. I know what to expect with museums and the thought process behind the directors’ behaviors. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m reading through these books fairly quickly or something else, but this almost seems repetitive of the prior books in terms of how events play out.
Emily Shore has introduced us to a story with various points of view. We bounce around mainly between Serenity and Bliss but occasionally there’s a couple more people we hear some inner dialogue from. I didn’t mind the switching back and forth between POVs, but I’m hoping we get some more action in the next book. I wish we could give half star ratings (if we can I haven’t figured that out yet) because I would give it a 3.5/5.
