TheSpineView Qhuinn gets jumped by his brothers and his friends as revenge for what he did to Lash. He almost dies. Blay saves him but he can't take him to Havers. Instead they go to the mansion for Doc Jane to tend. The Omega finds his son, who is Lash, when he dies briefly before being revived. The Lessers go Havers and kidnap him. A number of vampires are killed. It would have been much worse, but Z and Phury are there. The Omega makes Lash a Lesser. 2d

TheSpineView Jane is able to operate on Qhuinn and he will recover. We find out that Rehv murdered his father. Cormia realizes she loves Phury. While Phury tells her that she has been released from First Mate duties. 2d

TheSpineView A lot of the things that happened in these chapters were no surprise to me, with the exception of finding out that Rehv killed his father. Is it just me, or does it seem like this book has not focused much on Phury and Cormia? 2d

julesG No, not just you. I had the impression the book was all over several plot lines but never really invested in the main couple. 2d

Laughterhp I had the same thought. I figured it was because they were too boring to be the main topic. 😬😬 2d

julesG @Laughterhp 🤣🤣 1d

TheSpineView @Laughterhp Sad but true! The subplots, if you can even call them that, were what kept my interest. 20h

I tried to stick to the reading schedule but my loan was already expired and I had to put my kindle on airplane mode to finish it. 🤫🤫

It‘s been a while since I‘ve picked up one of these books so I forgot how many different POVs you get. Sorry, I found Phury pretty boring as an MC because it was so internal and he never spent time with Cormia. I did like the way the book ended.

The story opens with the birth of the Omega's son that is born to a female vampire. The Omega has the Fore-Lesser leave the baby in a public place where he will be found. Fast forward 25 years, and Phury is pining for Bella and wondering why he chose to be Vishous's stand-in. Bella is pining over Phury and John is pining over Xhex. Mr. D is made the new Fore-lesser and we get his story. He is tasked with finding...

TheSpineView ...the Omega's son now that he has come of age. Phury asks John to keep Cormia company so she is not lonely. Phury is fighting lessers and learns they now call him the "Torturer" because he is getting off on inflecting pain before he kills them. We learn someone is blackmailing Rehvenge and it has something to do with Xhex. Zsadist tells Wrath what is going on with Phury. It is determined he is unstable and is put on administrative leave. 1w

TheSpineView John, Blay and Qhuinn go shopping and to ZeroSum. Xhex gets into John's mind and sees that he fantasies about her. Xhex realizes she is attracted to John. Thorment is alive, barely. Phury feeds Cormia and realizes that he wants her. Lash starts shit with John and Qhuinn comes to his rescue and almost kills Lash when he cuts his throat. Qhuinn gets disowned and is kicked out of the house. We learn more about Phury as a young male and his vow... 1w

TheSpineView ...of celibacy. Cormia wishes she was not a Chosen. She yearns to be an individual. @julesG @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @tdrosebud @InkedBookworm13 @PageShifter @Laughterhp @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom @CoverToCoverGirl @StayCurious @BooksNBowls 1w

TheSpineView Lots going on in these opening chapters. The Omega has a son is a shocker. Should we even guess who that is. I think we have all figured it out. I think it is safe to say Phury has bonded with Cormia. Do you think we are headed down the same path with John and Xhex? 1w

Laughterhp There is so much going on with everyone! It‘s been a while since I‘ve read these books, so I‘m trying to remind myself of all the characters! 1w

TheSpineView @Laughterhp Yes! Besides the main storyline, there is John Matthew, Rehvenge, Z and Bella, Qhuinn and Blay. 1w

julesG Wait, Bella is pining over Z. 1w

julesG I read the book a few months ago, don't want to spoil anything. I hate Phury's inner voice, his wizard who enables him. Why did Ward turn Phury into this whining drug addict? I knew there was more under the Hollywood facade, which we got a glimpse of during Bella's abduction, but this is more than I expected. 1w

julesG Have I mentioned that the Chosen/Primale breeding program disgusts me? I'm glad this viscous (pun not exactly intended) circle is broken. 1w

TheSpineView @julesG No pining between Z and Bella just drama over her pregnancy. Glad to see Phury is starting to realize that he cares about Carmia. I agree with you on Phury. I think Ward took his inner demons a bit too far. 1w

julesG I meant vicious, not viscous. 🙄🙄🙄 Autocorrect 1w

TheSpineView @julesG Happens to me all the time 1w

1. Depends on the time of year. Love to read in the winter on a cold, rainy day. In the summer, I like sitting on the dock.
2. Looking forward to reading Lover Enshrined for #BDBBuddyRead

Play? @bthegood @Sace @Gissy
