Jessica's Totally Over The Top Book Obsession's Reviews > Crave

4 Mistaken Identity Stars



Spoilers

Crave the 2nd book in the Fallen Angels series was better for me than book 1. First off it wasn't bogged down with info overload. I enjoyed the faster pace of this book. There was lots of action in this book too. Also I personally liked this couple better than book 1. Isaac Rothe our male love interest in this book( since each book has more than one hero, mainly Jim Heron) was absolutely yummy. A sexy black ops soldier, with a good heart, and a slow southern drawl. Every time he said ma'am I melted a little. I also really liked Grier our female love interest. She was smart, sweet, and down to earth. I liked that she wasn't a super strong woman, but she wasn't a push over either. A lot of authors will write the heroines as either wonder woman or a door mat, Grier was a nice normal in between. I also enjoyed the romance in this book more too. Probably because in the last book the romance took a back seat to the world building and plot and in this book the plot and the romance were 50/50. More romance= Happier Jessica!



Isaac and Grier were so hot together. The romance in this book was spot on for me. I felt the connection between Isaac and Grier. I rooted for their love, and I enjoyed their story. Now the plot side of the book was good too, but there were a few things that could have been better. I really liked Jim. He was such a good guy but I loved that he could be a total bad ass too. I am totally wanting to see what happens with Jim and Sissy. I felt so bad for Sissy, she was so scared. I could also feel Jim's pain that he couldn't save her, and his feelings of failure. I looked at the other books in the series and seen Jim gets a book, I bet he gets with Sissy. I am trying not to read spoilers in this series, which is so hard because I am a spoiler whore, but I want to go into each read with no expectations. Still I can't wait to see if Sissy and Jim get together. There were some twist and turns in this plot that I enjoyed. I was totally shocked that the bad guys (Devina) won this round. On top of the good guys losing this round, Devina took Jim to hell, and her and her demons raped and tortured him for hours. I'm sure some will be really bothered by this, but to be honest it felt forced and for shock value to make Devina seem eviler. I could have did without it. I also could have done without Devina having OCD issues and seeing a therapist. She is a demon for fuck sake, it took away bad ass points that she sits in therapy and whines about her stuff like a human. Just sayin'! Now Mathias the soul that was lost to Devina, I felt really bad for Mathias especially after he realized that dying didn't bring him the peace he was hoping for but that he was in hell to suffer forever. Overall a good read and I am looking forward to the next book.
