This is the second series I’ve read by this author, and I am not going to pick up any more. Traits of the main character and the relationship between Karma and Fate are pretty much the same as “The Tales of Xest”.

Spoilers Below.

I am so disappointed in Karma’s character. She is presented to us as a very capable, mature, and emotionally intelligent woman. All of that goes out the window in this book! She has the emotional intelligence of a 15 year old, and about as much ability to logically think as one, too. I would have bought her actions a lot more if they had kidnapped Luck and not Kitty. She was going through hell for someone she talked to twice. Noble, but not very believable.

Karma and Fate. Neither can communicate to save their lives (literally, she almost dies from her inability to communicate). She was a good lawyer, right? That takes pretty incredible communication skills. It’s the same frustrating dynamic as it was in the Xest series. I’m starting to wonder if that’s the only way this author knows how to write romance.

A rant to end this: Karma just comes off as so stupid - like she has no knowledge of how men act towards women they have feelings for. “Oh, he keeps trying to protect me and is angry when I get hurt/when other men show interest me! Why oh why??” And “All these people who know him way better than I do keep saying he is into me. Every single one of them is wrong!”
