I seem to find that the vampire/vampire pairings are the most interesting and “believable” as this is definitely my second favourite installment in the series (first fave being Rafe and Phillipe's story). Aiden seems like a genuinely interesting character and it was nice to finally get some real back story as well as see his power. I felt the power reveal was a bit anticlimactic however, possibly because we didn't get told why he really used it last time or how (thought he says it's been centuries). Maybe a flashback to when he first discovered what he could do, similar to when Winter's power was revealed in the last book. Making him at least 1,000 years old also seemed kind of unnecessary unless it was just for Drake to not to have to come up with any real history links. If it was in Scandinavia in the 1,000s, there were many fiefdoms and kings so it would be hard to trace Ronan in any real historical context. However, the names Aiden and Ronan aren't historically accurate at all for that area. I can only assume Drake didn't really know what she was going to do with Aidan's story when she gave him that name. I'd like a little more info from their origin story just clear all that up.
Overall, a fun series but not consistent enough for me.
