Maybe he'll surprise you in the next book, Rummanah. The secondary characters sound awesome though and a guy who resembles Klaus should make things interesting.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-66741063697303015192012-02-03T09:55:26.930-06:002012-02-03T09:55:26.930-06:00Oooh I am so picturing Klaus when I read the seque...Oooh I am so picturing Klaus when I read the sequel! Thank you for that visual :)<br /><br />I had the same issues with Kerrick. I really, really wanted to fall for him, and I did a little toward the end, but it was very forced. I didn't consider the possibility that things won't work out between them though. I hope you're right! I want a better, less jerkface romantic lead.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-40545432224355557852012-02-02T21:59:53.725-06:002012-02-02T21:59:53.725-06:00Great review!

I love every single book of Snyder's and while this didn't beat my favourite series Poison Study, but it came pretty close to it.Erin W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057902364536764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-72318019292266191092012-02-02T17:31:46.287-06:002012-02-02T17:31:46.287-06:00I loved this as much, if not more than her other b...I loved this as much, if not more than her other books. I thought it was really well done. I loved the world. Although Kerrick was obnoxious for most of the book, he kind of grew on me in the end. I can't wait to see where Maria takes this!<br /><br /><a href="http://yalitwit.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Karis @YA Litwit</a>Karis Jacobsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307888090751718656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-14134294402720808762012-02-02T15:38:37.602-06:002012-02-02T15:38:37.602-06:00Ack!

Sometimes rebound relationships are at least fun to read about, but the missing chemistry would take away that fun.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-6009406491955987342012-02-02T11:38:21.028-06:002012-02-02T11:38:21.028-06:00I love a strong female lead, and agree with you th...I love a strong female lead, and agree with you that arrogant jerks kill the romance in a book for me.

That being said though, I don't like that Kerrick treats her cruelly, cruelty never appeals to me, so I'll be interested to see how I feel about him when I read this one. Glad the world building is easy to understand and the secondary characters rock:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
