That's not to say the book is bad, it really isn't. I found myself gritting my teeth with each additional occurrence. It'd be easy enough to excuse once or twice, but it's a frequently occurring problem for me throughout the book. 'She looked like a stranger staring at me, but she wasn't.' 'The night seemed to go on forever, but it didn't.' 'She'd just disappeared as if she never existed. In other cases, it was literally restating parts of phrases in reverse. She was trying to show Dastien obsessing over what he could have done differently and what might yet happen. In some cases, I know what she was doing. With all the chasing around they had to do, I think it could have been really interesting. Mostly pages filled with self-loathing and self-pity on her mate's part, though it's understandable, along with the process of trying to seek out answers. Considering a lengthy amount of time passes in the story, this makes sense, but it's also a bit dull to read. Unable to hear her or feel her along their connection, nearly half of the book focuses on the quest to locate her. If not in this life, then I'd find her in death.' 'I didn't know how or when, but I would find her. She's gone and there's no sign of her kidnappers. Dastien hears her urgent plea for him to save her brother and then their bond goes dark. Then she, her mate Dastien, and a couple others go tearing off to try to save him.įaced with an impossible choice, Tessa sacrifices herself to save those she loves. But after the end of what seems to be more of a minor skirmish, she gets a desperate call from her brother, Axel. Initially, that's where we find them, waking up to a battle. The group basically spends their nights fighting off everything bad- vampires, fey, demons, you name it. Literally since the cover was unveiled, it grabbed my attention and the synopsis sounded incredibly tense.Īccording to the blurb, the story is about Tessa, a twenty-one year old girl who's part witch and part werewolf, but 100% the unofficial leader of a supernatural alliance known as 'The 13.' I've been wanting to read 'Alpha Erased (Alpha Girls Book 9)' by Aileen Erin for months.
