Shades of Wicked by Jeaniene Frost
5.0
I never wanted a story about Ian.
He was a fun side character, but he was TOO MUCH:
Too smarmy.
Too uninhibited.
Too wild.
I never wanted a story about Veritas, either.
She was possibly the most boring character sprinkled throughout the Night Huntress series, and I couldn't figure out WHY she kept popping up. What could she possibly have to offer??
This book showed me how foolish I was.
The first two chapters were a bit stilted, but once the plot took off, it TOOK OFF. Ian's transformation from a walking STD to a man who hid his true strengths underneath sexual energy was smooth and flawless. Veritas' unmasking showed depth in a character who I would have sworn was made out of cardboard.
By the end of this book, I was clutching my imaginary pearls and begging for it to not be over. Then I read the epilogue and my heart exploded into a million tiny gleeful pieces.
Frost truly is a master at creating unique, inventive characters out of the shells of common paranormal romance tropes.
