I felt lost throughout most of the story but the gist of the story came through. I enjoyed the byplay of the characters. Alexander MacLean sets out to ruin Caitlyn Hurst because of some past involvement that forced his brother to marry. While he plans to ruin he, he doesn’t plan to fall in love with her.
The Thrall concept is yet another variation of the “vampire” theme. Instead of being infected by a “virus” the Thrall is a parasite which takes over the body and mind of its host for a few years. Eventually the body wears down and a new host is selected to receive the next queens eggs. Additionally the Thrall lives in a hive culture with a single reproductive queen leader and her drones the “hosts”. Humans all considered the “Prey” that feeds the hive the blood they need. Humans can also be Herd if they voluntarily feed the Hosts.
Part two of Gerards Black Ops Series.
This story starts off very fast with one of the BOI’s (Black Ops Inc) being dramatically warned off an assignment when his sister is killed as a message. Sam Lang is good at what he does, but unfortunately the people he works to eliminate don’t appreciate this. When Sam gets too close to Fredrick Nader, he is warned to back off and he heads home to protect what is left of his family. Sam’s guilt is immeasurable while he hides himself away at home.
While on assignment in Argentina for Black Ops Inc, Gabriel Jones is shocked to see someone from his past that he thought safe and out of his life. Jenna McMillan is a reporter who is covering a story in Argentina, but she doesn’t realize that she is being setup in a complicated revenge plot. When a bomb goes off unexpectedly, Jenna is tackled by a street bum who gets badly injured. While trying to escape, Jenna is thrown into a car and recognizes the men who save her. She doesn’t realize who tackled her, but once she sees Gabes men here in Argentina she puts two and two together.
I actually started this book on audiobook from my library because one of my classes is a fitness class. I am an older fat mom so it is weird working out with kids, but anyhow I find I have a few extra hours on the elliptical trainer and I don’t have to feel guilty when I listen to audiobooks during my exercise time. In fact I would really stand out if I didn’t have an ipod on.
The walls between the human world and Faery are coming down and the dark fae are pouring out in droves, Mac finds out who is controlling the Sinsar Dubh and it is even more dire than she presumes.
I was able to snag this story on audiobook. I love and hate that. It is nice to listen to a story when you are going about mindless activity, but then I found myself looking for mindless time when I shouldn’t.
The heroine, Drea, is a drug lords mistress who is not the dim bulb she pretends to be. She has vowed to get the most out of life. She has no problem in being a mans play toy as long as it gets her money, the finest clothing and jewels. Her existence is very shallow and she makes no apologies for this.
Having found the compound of past nemesis Deshon Star through an inside connection, Riley prepares to go undercover as a female wrestler to gain access to the compound and eliminate Deshon and end his genetic experiments. Ok, so that sounds like a cheesy plot and perhaps it is, but Arthur has a way of building a complex world while weaving in erotic sex and interesting plots. I could not put this one down.
