A bit of a disappointment after Lion's Heat,
By
This review is from: Styx's Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
Styx's Storm was not what I was expecting. For me Styx's was a relatively unknown character. I found the intermittent brogue he used confusing. Is his accent Scottish? Does he just fake it and turn it on and off and if so, why? None of these things are ever explained and I found it bothersome and it took me out of the story repeatedly. I found Styx's Storm was also full of repetition and various grammatical errors. The basic plot of the story was enjoyable - the suspense, the desire, and the ultimate resolution. I just have to wonder if some of the breed stories would not be better served by going back to the shorter length and making them anthologies as opposed to trying to stretch them into full length novels. For breed fanatics Styx's Storm is still a must read. We get to catch up with Cassie and the other members of breed society. I firmly believe Cassie's a mate is a member of Ghost Team and I can't wait for her story.

Not the best!,
By Samantha - Published on Amazon.com
Storme Montague is on the run trying to protect important data that her father had left her after he was brutally murdered by a Coyote breed. It has been ten years of running, hiding and fighting off breeds and Council members and Storme is tired. She knows the breeds will do anything to lure her in and they sent in Styx Mackenzie, a sexy, Scots wolf breed. After one night of passion with him, where she lets down her guard, she is taken by Breeds to the Wolf Compound. Bitter, angry and full of fear, Storme refuses to turn over the data, no matter what Styx does to her.Styx Mackenzie is tired of chasing Storme. He believes that if he marks her, then she will be forced to turn over the information to him. Needless to say, things do not go as plan. Styx is very aware that Storme is his mate and this causes a huge conflict because she dislikes and distrust breeds after witnessing her family's murder. Storme also harbors ill feelings towards the breeds because she feels as though her father and brother chose their work as scientist over her and their family. Since he knows Storme fears them, his wolf will not allow him to claim his mate. The mating heat is so close to the surface but until Storme allows him access to her heart, he can't mark her. Being a huge fan of Lora Leigh's Breeds series, I was slightly disappointed in the latest installment. Styx and Storme's relationship is rocky at its best. Storme has trust issues which is understandable. Styx wants her to trust him and is frustrating with her throughout the book. All the breeds are upset with Storme's lack of trust, fear and anger. Some of my favorite characters in the series are less understanding which is out of character for them. They think of Storme as being childish but in my opinion she acts very true to character considering all that she has been through. Her brother and father are murdered in front of her by a breed. She has been on the run and alone since she was fourteen. So why should she trust anyone? The only time Styx and Storme connected is in the bedroom. Lora Leigh does not leave out the sex in her books but at some point there has to be more to develop a relationship than sex. After the sex scenes, the repetitive arguing occurs and it became a tiresome cycle. Half way through the book, I thought of Cassa and Cabal's story in Bengal's Heart. This book takes the same direction with the lack of plot and connection. There is a lack drama or action scenes in this read until the very end and even that is weak. Storme's epiphany is too late in my opinion and I questioned why she has a change of heart to trust the breeds because there is no Ah ha moment. Readers are left hanging to find out what the data can do and if it helps the breeds. Overall, a lack of connection, constant bickering and repetitiveness contributed to this being a frustrating read. 60 of 65 people found the following review helpful

Slog, slog, slog,

This review is from: Styx's Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
The publisher's synopsis is wrong. The story line goes like this: girl is mentally scarred, becomes a bigot, knows her attitude is wrong, continues to behave like a child, refuses to recognize that she was wrong, [insert any cliche story devices you want here], story line becomes "blah, blah, blah". I don't like any of the characters and I truly don't care about any of them.I've read every Breed/Wolf/Coyote book, I've forgiven the mediocre ones with little plot and celebrated the ones where she really enjoyed the writing and the characters and gave her readers a gift. This book is so bad that I'm skipping entire paragraphs. If she is bored with the story line, write Cassie's (write it well, please, this is one I think we're all waiting for) and find some way to tie it up into utopia or hades. But please, please, respect your readers enough not to call it in the way this book was called in. I pre-ordered this. I will not make that mistake again. 78 of 89 people found the following review helpful

I can't believe I was desperate to read this book!!!!!!,
By P. Madan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Styx's Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
I can't believe how desperate I was to read this book! And how disappointed I was after I read it! After Jonas's story, I was expecting a whole lot better from LL, however she managed to disappoint me once again. Do yourself a favor, borrow the book from a library instead of paying for it.Storme was 14 when she witnessed her dad and brother deaths by the Council. Her father gave her a ring which had a hidden compartment inside that contained "very important info". She was to give the info to someone who would come looking for it. Of course her father provides her with no details on who this person was, just that he would say something and she would know. Skip ahead 10 years, Storme has been on the run for 10 years and hates all Breeds and the Council. She ends up in a bar where she meets Styx. Later that night she sleeps with him and finds herself captured by Jonas and his breeds. The rest of the story focuses on Storme and Styx having sex and Styx trying to get rid of the fear Storme feels when she's in the presence of Breeds. Wonderful! Sounds great doesn't it?! Now let me tell you how LL screws it all up. 1. Storme has a complex because her father and brother loved Breeds more than they loved her. And yet, she gets over it real quick. 2. Storme HATES Breeds. That is something that's made very clear in the beginning. Yet 2 seconds after meeting Styx, she's sleeping with him. What the hell? 3. Instead of trying to understand what Storme has been through, Jonas and his gang try to browbeat her into giving up her info... And then they wondered why she was afraid every time they came near her.... gee... 4. S&S spend way too much time having sex, which I know is pretty much the point of all LL books, but after reading Jonas's book I was kinda hoping for the development of a strong emotional relationship. S&S's felt too much like Stockholm syndrome. There were other problems with the book of course. These were just the ones I wrote off the top of my head. Unfortunately, if your anything like me, you can't put LL's bookS down, no matter how much they make you cringe. So those people, I wish you good luck :| |
