The Beast by J.R. WardMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I have been addicted to this series since I read the 1st book, Dark Lover, in 2011. I have devoured each book and became totally obsessed with the characters.
But...........the last two or three books have been a total disappointment to me. I kept asking myself if I wanted to continue after the disastrous The Shadows..........but I still feel some kind of loyalty to the brothers and their families....and despite my surprise..........why another Rhage book???? Yes, this is one brother that I absolutely love!!!! But, seriously!!!!Wasn't one book enough?? Why not a novella like Z's Father Mine???? But who am I to question JR WARD????
I have to be honest here - and probably going to be "lynched" for diehard fans.....and yes, most of the reviews are 4 and 5 stars.........but seriously....I cannot lie!!!
I love Rhage and Mary and I am beyond devastated that their second book didn't do it for me.
Some parts that I did like:
Bitty - she was such a sweet kid. And her interaction with Rhage was really incredible.
Vishous - his feelings for Jane and watching his brothers with their children.
These are the parts that drove me absolutely batty:
The many times that I read about Rhage/Mary/Bitty going for a trip.....
Layla - after being one of her diehard fans........i'm now rethinking that.......what the hell is the matter with her??? She's behaving so stupidly!!
Xcor- hell, I never wanted him paired with Layla.....and still don't!!!
Assail - this whole thing of him and Throe!!! The sexual innuendos....blah blah blah!!!! Are u getting another Qhuinn & Blay scenario????
Jeez....all of a sudden........everyone is related to someone!!!! Xcor, Throe, Jo.....where does she come from????
Despite all my gripes, I did finish the book.......even though I had to put it down a few times and go back again and again.
Now, I am going off to wait for Xcor & Layla!!! I just hope I will be surprised in a nice way!!!!!
