I started this series a few years ago when I had Prime and thoroughly enjoyed all four of those. This one was lackluster by comparison and just left me wanting. The back and forth in all the different POVs got tedious after awhile and seemed almost unnecessary. It almost made it to where you couldn't get invested in any of the stories let alone the main one.

Honestly I just didn't get invested in Venom and Evie and their relationshi seemed more like a lust that happened to grow into a bond. Maybe the others were like that and I just forgot but here it seemed rush and there was no chance to develop into much of anything. And there was the chance in Ivar which was sudden but apparently there is a novella somewhere as an in-between that I missed.

I picked this up thinking it would be Sloan's story (as I said it has been a few years since I read the last one so I had forgotten all the names) and that could have contributed to the overall sense of it just being okay. But the story itself didn't give enough time for a romance or relationship to develop between Venom and Evie. I didn't hate this book but I also didn't enjoy it as much as I did the others. I will still likely pick up Sloan's book when she writes it but I am not sure if I will pick up the others just yet.
