Taste of Darkness by Katie Reus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
So, God’s honest truth is that I’ve never really spent too much time thinking of all the different ways to refer to a woman’s vagina. Although if I had I don’t think “mound” would’ve made it to my top 10 list. Aside from the copious use of the term “mound” I enjoyed this book.
When dragon shifter Dragos (aka drake) was introduced in the last book I was stoked. Certainly the concept of any being having the ability to shift form is quite appealing. But let’s be honest, when you’re thinking of the hierarchy in the shifter world – dragons have got to be near the top!!! Ooh la la
In this – the second book of the series- Drake (dragon shifter) and Victoria (wolf shifter) meet his dragon clan and fight to survive and thrive while uncovering who might have sacrificed Dragos to open the hell gate 1500 years ago.
In this installment I warmed up to Victoria’s character. In the last book she came across as kind of a “boring library observer” type.
Prepare yourself for a major spoiler-
Although I enjoyed the book I kept hoping that the traitor would be Fia. She seemed like a pretty terrible/weak character and I would have loved to see that twist in the plot. I mean, come on! Why else would someone get that freaked out about a brunch?!? As someone who has been married into a royal Dragon family she should have *some* experience entertaining and keeping her calm. Annoying and weak. Also, I found her extremely rude to insist that they show up 2 days early when Drake returned. Certainly over the past century and a half she would have learned some manners! Argh
