Review:
Book 3 is the culmination of this particular trilogy and it starts, and stays for a while, in some serious uncertainty as to what exactly Cain and Felicity are going to do. Not only is there still an angry vampire running around wanting to get Felicity, but the truth about Sindy is now another issue on the table. The biggest thing for Cain is that he wants Felicity to have a chance at a real life. Not one like him, hiding in the shadows and the darkness of night, moving often, and never having a real family. Vampire covens are not exactly families and the rules for their kind are vastly different. Felicity's friend, Alyson, seems to have no trouble accepting these different rules, but then again she has someone out there she's waiting for. Sindy begins to show a new side of her; the side that is ready to start being a little nicer to humans and other vampires. Over the three books, her character growth has been quite a bit and it is interesting to watch that change. Felicity goes from the naive young girl she was into a stronger and capable woman. Not necessarily when it comes to kicking vampire butt, but her character in general changes some. Cain, however, has the most difficult time it seems to me. Why? After surviving so long on animal blood, the vampire within is starting to rebel against him because of his recent sampling of other blood besides animal. This causes a serious problem that he needs to address before he ends up hurting Felicity accidentally. Talk about a tortured soul, Cain is definitely that. His way of thinking is vastly different than many vampires and he is constantly trying to make up for his past. And the end of this book, I hate to say it but for me personally was a cliff hanger. One of those moments where things kind of click into place as you are also thinking "What the..." Yep. It is. But guess what? There is a whole other follow-up trilogy after it! And I confess that I am really looking forward to see what happens.
5 out of 5 stars! Want to know more about this trilogy? Check the past two days posts and you will find reviews and links for the first two books!
Blurb:
ALMOST HUMAN ~ The First Trilogy
In this paranormal fantasy, chapters alternate perspective between a vampire and a young woman, as they join an ensemble cast of characters to navigate difficulties of addiction and desire; perils of zombies and vampires; and struggles with abuse, morality and... college.
Volume 3: Evolving Ecstasy
The relationship between Cain and Felicity has crested to a peak that leaves them unsure whether to step back from each other for safety, or jump into a future united in death.
Felicity is unlike any human Cain has known before. She treats him as an equal; a man worthy of friendship, respect and even… love. She embodies qualities of gentleness and loving trust that he has never found among his own kind. This makes her far more desirable to him than any creature of darkness could ever be.
The venom of Cain’s bite could protect Felicity from hostile vampires, but it would give him a measure of psychic control over her as well. Would Felicity only accept becoming a vampire, due to his addictive venom, coupled with the foolishness of a young girl in love?
Perhaps there is a brighter future for her in the human world. Is Cain’s desire for Felicity’s love worth the loss of her life?
*ALMOST HUMAN is a series of successive trilogies, not stand-alone books. Each trilogy is self-contained enough to be read alone as a 3 book set, but the story unfolds chronologically, and the characters do continue from one trilogy to the next. Main storyline closure is in each 3rd book, but there are also story-ties leading from one trilogy to the next in the series.
