Star Cursed Zodiac Wolves Book 2 PDF Free Download

I expected the cliffhanger, but it was still a doozy!

I really enjoyed this book. The plot moves fast. I was really drawn into the action, the politics, the plotting, the battles, etc.

I did feel a little frustrated with the romance aspect, which is why it’s 4 stars, instead of 5. I guess, at this point, I am annoyed that Ayla and Kaden don’t talk to each other like adults. It’s all guessing how the other feels. He still keeps things from her or doesn’t bother to tell her things until pretty much forced. He still tests her. It’s supposed to create tension, I guess, but it just makes me dislike and distrust him, even knowing he is the hero and I am supposed to root for him. It just felt very much like the relationship was surface and still about reluctant attraction. When he decides to go “all-in” I still didn’t like him or buy it. Treat her like crap. Don’t even apologize. Then just join her in the shower because OF COURSE, she’s going to fall at your feet and let you bite her, even though you flip flop between accusations and avoiding her. 🤦🏻‍♀️

And Ayla’s character is so insecure, so beaten down, that she accepts his “tests”. She just accepts that he treats her like crap and doesn’t even recognize it as being mistreated, because he doesn’t beat her or whatever. I guess it makes sense, as the character is written, given her history. But it doesn’t lead me to have any particularly strong feelings for Kaden as a love interest.

The plot is strong with the Leos and Sun Witches, and I can’t believe I am saying this, but the author could honestly kill Kaden off, and I would be weirdly fine with just finishing off the series with Ayla alone defeating the bad guys and taking over the pack. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s a strange thing for me, because I am ALL about romance. And I don’t “hate” Kaden’s character. He’s not awful. He’s just not attractive in any way beyond superficial physical stuff. He’s written very shallow and constantly trying to protect his own feelings, even at the cost of hers, which makes him seem weak, despite all the fighting, etc. Throwing in the former girlfriend and having him be all reactionary with her also lowered him in my eyes. By this point, he should be able to see that woman and have it mean nothing. I predict that the ex’s mate was killed in that last battle, and we get Eileen trying to get Kaden back in the next book. That will tick me off, but the scene is set.

There is a lot of action here. Continuous escalation with pretty much no downtime. The story moves fast, for sure. I read it through in one sitting. The plot with the other packs, the witches, etc. is very strong and kept my attention.

I’m looking forward to the final book, but I hope Kaden is better at being a mate than what he is here. Because he’s pretty pathetic.
