Birthright (The Residue Series book 2) Book Review


Picture

Synopsis

Jameson and Jocelyn know their love is forbidden, but that doesn't end their feelings for each other. Because of it they are in incredible danger. Now, with their enemies watching - ones who pose a far greater threat than anyone they've ever encountered - they have no choice but to hide the truth. As Jameson and Jocelyn face the prospect of death for having fallen in love, their dedication to each other is repeatedly tested, but it may be the truth behind their devastating fate that destroys their love forever.

Review

The world of witchcraft, spells and the supernatural Romeo and Juliet story continues to both develop and grow in the 2nd instalment of this series. Jocelyn finally appears to have accepted and embrace her new life at last she acknowledges that witchcraft and voodoo are real. Jocelyn and Jameson are sole mates and accept there is a tight bond between them, but secrets could tear them apart

Laury’s writing appears to be improving as we travel through the books and the editing definatly has, the only thing that annoys me is the heroines in her books. They all seem to go off without thought for anyone else or the consequences in order to ‘save her loved ones’  and in particular Jocelyn’s continuing emotional wrangling does become very annoying at times, saying that I do like the twist and turns as the two of them develop their relationship.

The story line is developing nicely from the first book and it was great to read about Maggie and Eran when Jocelyn uses Maggie’s skills to contact her father for help. I won’t go into details about why, as I don’t want to spoil the book for you, but it does bring Jocelyn and Jameson back together. I think it’s a nice touch by Laury to bring characters from the Guardian series and integrate them in a small way into this book.

I enjoyed the book, it is an easy read, but as mentioned before I do get a little annoyed with the heroine always putting herself in danger. I’m looking forward to the next instalment and I hope that Laury doesn’t keep reproducing the nice neat end to her books!

I rate this book
