Lover Mine

Loved this one, although the violence of the lessers was a bit much/gross - I did skim those parts. I was impressed with some of the plot reveals/connections made at the end. I did not anticipate them! Other reviewers have commented that this series transitions from pure paranormal romance to more expansive urban fantasy after the first 5 or so books. This one is a particularly good example.

Not my favorite. I was looking forward to the Darius/ John story but it was so drawn out it wasn't interesting. The Blay/ Quinn story alternates with the villain Lash highlighting Quinn the cruelest, most self absorbed villain to date. And I think we are supposed to be rooting for HIM and not the kind honest one.

I always include major spoilers (hidden), to help with my memory  issues. Read them at your peril!  

John Matthew & Xhex.  At the end of the last book in the series Xhex was kidnapped by Lash . The  brothers fear the worst, but are searching. Eventually Xhex escapes as Lash seems to weaken The Omega casts out Lash, who plots revenge by passing info to the brotherhood , whilst still aiming to recapture Xhex.
