Drakon and Mac.
Let me say that I enjoyed this couple's story. I am not new to the writings of the Shadow Guild (Mac's friends Carrow, Eve, Seraphia, Beatrix, etc). I will say that you will appreciate these two characters more if you're 'familiar' with the stories of her friends; however, it's not necessary.
This trilogy starts off completely different than other books in the Shadow Guild series. Book 1 (Bite Me) starts with Drakon accusing Mac of burying him alive and that he is there to exact revenge by killing her. Mac negotiates her life by selling her skills as a seer in order to help him locate a hidden treasure amongst a secret shadow group's Hunger games. Throughout this book Drakon and Mac are fighting for their lives (Mac twofold) while at the same time Mac is trying to discover who actually locked Drakon away.
Book 2 (Suck It) continues the story of the evil sorcerer Ludovic and the continuous threat of his next plot for power while trying to acquire Mac. The plot turns out to be attacking a mass of shifters and using their souls to fuel his power. It is now up to Mac and Drakon to help the shifters against their new foe. In the background lurks the truth of Drakon's immortality and its connection to Mac.
In Book 3 (Kiss Me), Drakon has turned to stone because of his connection to Mac. The relationship between the the two is complicated. Cue the angst. The truth of Mac's power and background are becoming clearer and clearer. With the help of witches, Drakon is returned to flesh for one week. So now Drakon and Mac must find a solution to the flesh to stone issue while still going after Ludovic while still trying to learn Mac's true history. Its a lot going down and oh so worth it.
I can say that this series moves quickly. As the author presents questions you do not have to wait long to get answers.The story arc's are fast-paced. Most of the three book ending's have a resolution wrapped up in a pretty bow and initially it was hard to deal with, but I dig it now.
I give the entire series a B+ for enjoyment and yes I will be moving on to the next Linsey Hall series that I haven't read yet.
Buy the entire series on Amazon
