I’m a little confused about how I feel about this book. I still like the story, maybe there are a few plot holes / unexplained situations, but those do not take away from the intrigue. What does, though, are the totally unnecessary “spicy” scenes. I like books that can be read in public, and recommended to anyone without any qualms about appropriate-ness, hence the 3 stars. Hope that the next book Onyx Storm will focus on the story-telling.
