![]() What does it say about a character when I feel more empathy toward the "bad guy" than the "hero." Even though this book has a HEA, I felt depressed at the end. Are you kidding me?! I really didn't like Thayne. People around him suffered and even died because of his actions and he whines because he can't see his family as much as he would like. ![]() He took and took from everyone and gave nothing and even in the end, didn't give up anything, NOTHING. His actions have devastating consequences. It was a bit of a weak justification, IMHO. Thayne rejects his mate, Nick, ostensibly because of some childhood trauma. The basic story was introduced in Chasing Seth, the first book. I'm not sure what the author was going for with this book but if it was for the reader to have a visceral reaction to Thayne, mission accomplished. I really enjoyed Nick and hearing from Seth and Casey as well. ![]() Many times I just wanted to slap both MCs, as it is told from both POVs. ![]() There is a lot of angst (lasting throughout most of the book), misunderstandings, miscommunication and a couple of TSTL moments. It is a really long listen, almost 12 hours and I think Thayne whines about 10 of those hours. Overall, I didn't hate this book, but it was hard to like sometime. Well Nick may have forgiven Thayne, but I did not. ![]()
