It hasn't been the best week for Jessica McClain. Her mate has been kidnapped by a Goddess hell-bent on revenge --- but Jessica is playing for keeps. Because she's the only female werewolf in town...it comes with its own set of rules...and powers.
Aided by two vamps, two loyal Pack members, and one very reluctant human, Jessica must rescue her man while coming to terms with what being a wolf really means.
All in a day's work for a girl.
The second novel in the Jessica McClain series is a full on action adventure featuring one angry Goddess and plenty of monsters, demons, and a few newly risen beasties...
My thoughts.
It was good, just not as good as book 1. I think it was cos of the storyline. They spent it looking for Roarke most of the time and well...even if things happened, not so much happened. I guess I wanted another kind of scenery too.
But Jessica is still cool and kick-ass. Though I must say that with all these new powers she is in danger of going very Mary Sue. But I do wonder about the prophecy.
We did not see her mate a lot :/
Her brother and Danny are nice. I might even like Roy soon. Naomi was cool too.
The evil goddess was evil, just a bit cliche'. Get over it woman.
Conclusion:
Good is good, I just hope book 3 is back to being book 1 good. Cos that one was awesome.

I've heard a lot about Roarke, so I'm bummed he's not in this second book as much, that seems to be a pretty standard second book plot point. Separate the main couple. I'm glad Jessica still kicks ass though!
ReplyDeleteI missed him so much! I barely got to know him and then he was gone in this one.
DeleteAnd yes keep them separated, the plot is there
Well, it doesn't sound like a lot happened and sorry Roarke was MIA, but Jessica does sound cool.
ReplyDeleteShe can sure kick some ass
DeleteOh yes this book was so nice, but maybe you're right about book 1. I hope it will be even better with book 3!
ReplyDeleteIt was just better, and yes I hope book 3 is as good :)
DeleteEh, sound like it has a bit of 2nd book slump, but glad you still liked
ReplyDeleteI do hate book 2 slumps
DeleteI missed Rourke so much in this one,his absence kind of ruined it for me, but aside from that, this is my favorite of the three.
ReplyDeleteI know, I wanted more with him :( Sad!!! So hopefully book 3 will have a lot with him in it
DeleteIt was not as bad as some book 2 can be. Then I do not even want to continue, still not as good
ReplyDeleteRourke is in the 3rd!! So, I do think you will like it more. :D
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAAY
DeleteToday is my Friday!!!
ReplyDeleteFriday :D
DeleteAnother series I'm working on getting to. Glad to hear you're gonna stick it through and go to book 3 =)
ReplyDeleteI sure will :)
DeleteAn evil goddess stole her man? Oooo! Hope she saved him. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Those pesky goddesses
DeleteLol, I hope you get the time ;)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm so curious to read about this Roarke! I almost bought the first book once. Must do that soon.
ReplyDeleteDo get it :D Or wait until I have read book 3 ;)
DeleteI have the same problem with this book, it was a run non-stop, but at the same time not much happened.
ReplyDeleteI liked third book a lot better than this one, maybe even more than first.
I know right, run run run, fight fight fight. I wanted more. But yay that the 3rd is better
DeleteI have this on my TBR and I'm excited to get to it. Bummer that it isn't as good as book one, but the fact that you're still looking forward to book three has me encouraged. :-) Great review!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will like it, cos it is still good..just not as good.
DeleteSounds like the first book was great. Hope the next one is better.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too :)
Deletehahaha good luck with book 3!
ReplyDeleteI like the cover and good is good for a 2nd book, hope book 3 is great!!
ReplyDeleteI do hope so too
DeleteWow even you are enthusiastic about this series. Now I really have to add it to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteAye give it a go :)
