Soul Sucker
4 starsI am a big fan of Kate Pearce and I really liked her House of Pleasure series. I picked Soul Sucker because I want to read her other work and surprisingly, I found that I enjoyed it. I was lured to this book because of the blurb and I read the excerpt too!
The romance is really good enough, I liked the feelings Ella and Vadim shared together. But the element of mystery is the reason that got me hooked, couldn't put this book down and stayed out late at night to finish it. It triggered my curiosity and to be frank, that curiosity isn't being answered with satisfaction that I wanted. The story also got me confused a lot. Really need something to fix that, eh? I want more. I think the puzzles aren't exactly solved properly. Yeah?
Here's why. I learnt about Ella Walsh and she is definitely stubborn to the core but I liked her because she's an interesting person for the throughout of my reading but not her mate, Vadim Morosov. He is a very secretive and it was frustrating as hell because even though he gave out some hints, Ella might somehow figure it out at some point but I, as a reader, I'd rather he'd just tell me of all his damn secrets instead left me with whatever crap assumptions I have. Besides, I'd like to know more not just about him but his Otherworld, his families, friends, and acquaintances. Even his enemies!
Overall, it was a good read and even if it stays as a stand alone novel, I'm good with that. Although, of course, I'd appreciate and loved this book to have its sequel. Please do Ms. Pearce!
Read on your own peril.
