These books are unnecessarily long. And we badically read the same plotline twice when Gideon lost his memories and had to fall in love all over again.
I know how emotions work so it's really annoying that they're always overexplained in these books. Like, let the characters do stuff instead of making the bulk of the book(s) be long-winded, repetitive introspection.
All the Duskwalkers and even a lot of the main characters, despite the attempts at diversity, all sound the same. Meaning, all the dialogue is written in the same "voice." Duskwalkers sound different than humans, but otherwise everyone sounds the same.
I basically read these for the monster smut, but the plotline and world building can be somewhat interesting. My problem is that I can skip paragraphs or pages at a time and not be confused about what's going on. These books could easily be trimmed down while still keeping the the unique storyline and monster romance in place. Idk if it's the author wanting the books to be long and wordy, or if the editing just isn't great.
I also keep waiting for this series to end, but it just keeps going. 😅 I keep reading them to see what's new, but honestly they all feel pretty much the same. The names and spicy scenes just change up a bit.
