Review: Declan is being forced to mate and take over the alpha position in his pack. He doesn’t want to settle down, or at least not without his fated mate. To bad for him he just doesn’t have the time. So he settles with making a peace pack with the neighboring pack. Mate with one of his daughters for peace. That all ends on the night of his last night of fun party.
Liam is a very powerful demigod who works for the council. He is what is called the fixer, but almost all of his fixing ends in death. His real name is Lykos, but Liam seems to fit better. One night of fun leaves him with a fated mate. But with one phone call and Liam hearing it wrong, he leaves. Now some ass needs to be kicked.
I read this story after I read another book that is connected to this series. I have to say that even though this book was funny as hell, it also has some big problems. It comes off as a very rushed story. The alpha or soon to be alpha comes off very weak and not at all what an alpha should be like. Also a true demigod would not offer help even after he thought he was not wanted. It sounds wrong from the start. The chemistry felt like it was being forced, the story flowed way to fast and the dialogue was off.
The next issue is it went from party, to sex, to pictures and a broken treaty. The author left out quite a bit of that information which would have made the story more believable. Also you bring in a fixer to find out who took the pictures is not what I would think would be an acceptable thing for a killer. It really could have been done without this in the story.
Now even with those issues, I actually found myself having fun with it and can’t wait to read the next book. I just hope that it is written better. There is great potential.
