Shadow's Seduction by Kresley Cole
4.0
3.75 stars.
Really enjoyed this. While I don't usually read MM romance, this was written by Kresley Cole and it's an IAD novel, I was going to read it no matter the pairings.
As always, KC's writing brings me right in and keeps me wanting to turn the page and find out what is going to happen.
I was surprised with how much I liked Caspion, since in [b:Shadow's Claim|12988016|Shadow's Claim (Immortals After Dark, #13; The Dacians, #1)|Kresley Cole|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1336161703s/12988016.jpg|18147798] I couldn't really stand him.
With Prince Mirceo I loved how close he and Mina were/are. I love seeing close sibling relationships. I was glad that he was the one pursuing Caspion, since in so much of his life everything is handed to him and rather easy to attain.
There were some issues that kept me from really loving this installment though. The relationship side of the romance was kind of glossed over, there was plenty of sexy times between them but I felt like their friendship was so sudden in the beginning and then there was very little expanded on their relationship outside of the lust and attraction.
The time that Caspion was in the other realm was also glossed over. He was there for 500 years, spending a little bit of his time there, when he was there, would have been nice.
And I also wish there was a little more with the secondary characters. A little more Lothaire (when don't I want more Lothaire?) and a little more Trehan and Bettina.
Can't wait for Wicked Abyss. So excited!
