Review:
This was my first
Maya Banks book, and I obviously should have started somewhere else. I’m not
saying that this one wasn’t good, because it was, it was just telling the
reader a later storyline to plotlines that I should have known already. I do
plan to read the previous books, and this did kind of tell me which ones I
would like to know more, but it still would have been better to start with the
first one.
This book has
little snippets of what is going on with all of the Colter’s: the parents are
happily married, with Holly deciding to make dinner for Christmas. Lily found
out that she’s pregnant (again?) and is having a hard time dealing with it and
telling her husbands. And Callie is sick and helping her husband with his
sister. I did enjoy reading about it all, but probably would have appreciated it
more had I read the previous books and had more of a connection to the characters.
Callie’s is the
story I’m most interested in, with Lily’s up second, but I do plan on reading
all of them at some point. I do really wish I’d have gotten a different of
hers, but I did enjoy this one, and will probably re-read it after reading the
other books in the series.
I have some of Banks' other books now and plan to read them soon, and it's bit bothersome to me that they are so hard to find where I'm at. Most of my bookstores have a very little selection of her books.
