Danielle's Reading Adventures
Reading is my favorite hobby, hands down. Books are love to me. I am an avid collector, and paper books will always edge out e-books with me.
The Delicious Taste of Poison
| I have said it before and I will say it again. I love these GhostWalkers books! It was lovely to get a new book. I'm glad I finally got to read it, even if it's a year late! I am happy to say that I really loved this book. Now let's talk about this book! Wyatt: My dear Wyatt, you are a hot, delicious mess. When he is in his brother Gator's book, you think of him as a jocular, easy-going little brother. Well, things have changed. He's very intense and somewhat tortured. And freaking jealous as a house on fire. I will freely admit I love jealous/possessive heroes. I felt he did toe the line in how he was treating Pepper when she was around his friends. Yes, there are some considerations with it all. Pepper has an allure that is highly potent, and Wyatt spends most of this book learning to deal with it. At least he realizes it's a problem and tries. He's very bossy. Oh yes, I think he also knows this about himself and he's called by his boys and Pepper about it. What I love about Wyatt is his love and protective nature over his family and friends. When Pepper and the baby come, he's all in. No question. He's a formidable warrior but also an incredible thinker. I love brilliant men. What a great combination. And he's definitely all that in the bedroom. What's not to love? But seriously, I don't know that I could live with a man like Wyatt as my husband, but he sure is right for Pepper and a very appealing hero. I like that he is willing to change the areas that he needs improvement in. Pepper Wow, she's gorgeous, inside and out. I felt so bad for her situation. I hate that she was experimented on that way and has such a profound enhancement. At first I didn't really get it. It took me a while to figure out what was going on with her enhancement. When I did, I was pretty thrown. That would suck. I've have read books with a similar issue in a heroine (but it's usually paranormal). How to deal with that. Wyatt's solution was certainly practical and it made for some hot bedroom (and other places) moments for sure. Even though she hated that she had to do it, she uses her unique ability to devastating effect in the climax, and I thought that was a very cinematic moment. I definitely wouldn't want to be irresistible and gorgeous like her (For real, I mean it). How difficult did that make her life? It was Wyatt's fault that he was so jealous, but it sucked that she couldn't do a lot about it. He had to understand that she was who she was, and he clearly loved her, so it comes with the package. I loved Pepper. Thought she was an awesome character. Ms. Feehan is really upping the ante with the GhostWalker storyline. Pepper's enhancement and backstory ties in very well but takes things to another level. The Triplets: Oh my gosh. So adorable. This book made my baby fever even worse. I loved the scenes where they bond with the adults and Pepper and Wyatt. I love seeing the GhostWalker nursery get bigger. Keep it coming, Ms. Feehan! The Team: The new guys that get introduced in this book are officially my boys. Loved them all. Even though Trap is a grumpy, socially awkward hot mess, he's my hot mess. Excited to read his book. Ezekiel is probably my new favorite GW. I can't wait until his book! I always love the relationship between the GWs. How they have each other's backs and rib each other because they know each other so well. How their loyalty is ride or die and when their men find their women, they will fight to the death to protect them and their children. I couldn't ask for more. Nonny: She's awesome. I loved her snark and how she welcomes all the GWs into her home, and the babies. Can she be my honorary Cajun grandmother? The Setting: I hate hot weather, and I still kinda of wished I was in the Bayou with them. That's because it was so well-described I felt like it was real to me. How Wyatt was a product of the swamps and it was integral to his nature. It was a sort of symbiosis for him. Cayenne: She's my girl. I love bad-a** chicks and she's definitely that. Her skill set, ah yess! Can't wait to read Spider Game. Trap and her already have melting hot chemistry. Trap is a bit of a butthead, but I hope Cayenne stays strong and handles her man and keeps him in line. Story Advancements: As I said above, I think this story really does escalate the ongoing GhostWalker narrative. The introduction of the French GW girls is brilliant, and I'm excited to see more of them. The new physical enhancements of the bad guys was freaky and made for some fantastic action scenes. One of the things I love about this series is the action is hard and fast and incredible. These books satisfy my love Jones and my action Jones, and that's just what I want in a good action romance/romantic suspense. This series continues to be one of my top favorite romance series, and I'm glad that Feehan has sustained the writing quality. She's going very hot with the love scenes, but not going into places I won't follow, so I'm thankful for that. I can deal with the hero being a bit more dominant in the bedroom than I like, and actually Wyatt was pretty hot. I'm a happy camper. A well-deserved five stars!
