I adore Dex!
My Review:
I was so looking forward to this third installment to the Para Ops series and I was not let down. At first, I was worried when I realized that Dex wasn't going to be paired up with Lucy, but I loved him and Jes together....and whoa, I was so surprised about their intertwined histories...so powerful.
Virna DePaul has created such an incredible world within this series that I just love. This book belonged to Dex (half-were shifter from the Para Ops team) and Jes (vampire doctor with another agenda.) There is so much that Jes is hiding in this book and even though I knew that it would all work out in the end, it was really emotional getting to there. I just adore Dex's character. He is such a seemingly hard character who puts off this f**k-you facade, but it is just that...a facade. When someone enters his life that he cares for, he is completely loyal and protective of that person. There are some horrible circumstances from his childhood which have made him become this completely protective person that is so attractive. The scenes with the little seven year old Ella that completely melted my heart. Then there is Jes, who has withstood so much loss, and as a doctor, is just trying to find a solution. I certainly did not always agree with her methods, but in her heart, her actions were for the right reasons.
There are so many little details to this book, like little Ella, which made it so good. Mahone and the glimpses of the Goddess and the developing feelings between them...whoa, I so did not see that coming. I cannot wait to see what Virna DePaul does with that story line over the series. Then there is Cy...*gah* I loved him! His attitude towards his very short life...so sweet, while also so heartbreaking. I like the tiny little hints (and I hope that I am not just imagining them) about something brewing between him & Lucy...I like where that is going! My heart still breaks for her especially in the way that she has had to *use* Dex.
In addition there was a whole new species of otherworlders added to the mix...the Draci. I hope that we get to see a LOT more of these dragon shifters in the future. I am assuming that Lucy's book is next, but there is talk of adding more to the team. I cannot wait to see where this series is headed. It is such a good series! I HIGHLY recommend it!!! If you like paranormal, this series needs to be in your TBR pile!!
