Ensuing Darkness by Alexis Cain
I absolutely loved Ensuing Darkness. The plot was interesting, the characters well-developed, and they had me laughing and crying along with me. Kota, to me, was exactly as a heroine should be strong, independent, and likable. Connelly seemed like a well-developed and not stereotypical male lead. He wasn't egotistical and he tried to protect Kota without being controlling. Their relationship was more "believable." They didn't need to be together every second of the day like some other books will have their couples do. The siblings were all amusing, I loved them all and would not be upset to see books going into more details about them *****HINT HINT****. The secondary relationship of Ivan and Sue was sooo sweet and the "event" (don't want to spoil anything) that happend to Sue made my heart break for her. Allister and Vincent made me laugh out loud. As far as the action goes, it was well detailed and was a nice balance to the romance. It was interesting the way Alexis Cain approached the vampire trend going on right now. I think she definitely has a new and enjoyable way of portraying her vampires. I give this book 4 and a half stars because although the book clearly leaves off for a sequel, I feel like this could have been done without just feeling like you're missing a chapter.
A complete side note because I have no idea if this was just the format on my kindle but the lines were spaced out oddly and the title and author's name appeared throughout the book randomly for example,
"only to find that class had apparently
Ensuing Darkness
already started."
But I could ignore this problem as I began more engrossed in the novel. :)
