Possession by J.R. WardMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oh where do I begin reviewing this?....
I can safely say that I enjoyed this one more than I enjoyed Rapture. This book got back that vibe and feeling that I keep going on about, with the brief appearance of Xhex and John Matthew form the Black Dagger Brotherhood (BDB). This installment in the series stared out really well. There were some interesting new characters brought in; Duke, alpha male, mysterious, and bouncer at the Iron Mask. GB, attractive singer and guitar player, the nice 'safe option'; and Cait, illustrator and art teacher, trying to be her own person and let go of the overly religious upbringing form her parents. Between them you have a bit of a love triangle thing going on.
I was very intrigued by these characters and how all the events were going to play out with one of them being the soul, and then suddenly it became the Sissy Show. You know, I started to feel really sorry for Adrian (at last I have some emotion towards him!), Jim gets distracted, again, by Sissy and the little Biblical war that's going on is just left for poor old Adrian to deal with on his lonesome. I felt that the story line about saving the next soul with Duke, Cait and GB became a secondary story, and therefore it was all wrapped up a bit to quickly at the end. I would like to have seen more of the relationship between Duke and Cait, and them coming to terms with what had happened.
I also think that I am starting to dislike Sissy...
This book started out well, gripping my attention, however I'm not really sure what I thought of it in the end.
