Castor
by Jaclyn Osborn
•spoilers for book 1, Galen•
The second half of this book was so good, even though the beginning was a little slow - similar to the first in the series. I liked that there was a lot more drama and angst with their relationship. I'm really enjoying the overall plot of the series and meeting all the new characters.
Castor is one of the sons of the fallen angels and is cursed with the sin Greed. Kyo is Simon's coworker at the antique store, and also happens to be a rare water dragon. Ever since the night in the underworld they've had an awareness of each other, which soon turns into a friends with benefits situation. As they grow closer, family duties and rising demon activity threaten to tear their relationship apart before they truly be together.
Castor and Kyo surprised me a little with how well they worked. Castor realizes early on that Kyo is his mate, but while there was an instant connection I still felt like they had that good emotional build up. They are two dominant guys but were able to open up and be vulnerable with each other. Castor is struggling with the psychological torture he endured, and they are both living with the consequences of their father's actions. Their understanding of one another made their banter and chemistry that much better.
Castor represents the sin greed, but I wish he was more greedy. Galen's wrath is a huge part of who he is and how he lives his life. I was expecting Castor to have like, rooms of jewels and gold and be constantly stealing stuff like a hoarding dragon. But his greed was a little more low key which wasn't as fun.
The plot gets more complicated as the son of the fallen angels try to find allies. We meet a lot of new characters in this story and some definitely play a huge part in future books (ahem Titan and Warrin). Warrin choosing Daman to marry "because he's the most beautiful" made me swoon and it isn't even his book! I'm too excited to read the rest of the fallen brothers stories.
Read if you like:
• paranormal/fantasy
• friends with benefits to lovers
• fated mates
Audiobook - Like Galen, Nick J Russo does a great job!
