Slippery Creatures discussion

[vae]

It's been a week! (and oh what a week it's been)

Let's discuss Slippery Creatures. Here be spoilers in the comments!

Did you love the characters? The world? The plot? Have you read other KJ Charles books that you'd compare it with? Things that are in common with other books? Things that are new? How do you feel about it being the first book of a trilogy and how this one ends taking that into account?

I enjoyed it! And I was on board with the pairing by the end of it but I have to say that reading a lot o fanfic has given me the bad habit of skimming over the plot in commercial romance novels but I was actually reading more for the plot for the first half or two thirds of it. And I didn't really like either of the characters so much in the beginning (I didn't dislike them, I just was crazy about them like I was and am about the pairing in Think of England). Like others, I liked Phoebe and Maisie. Maybe even more than the lads in the beginning. I think the author turned up the heat on the sex scenes a little bit and that made me like the main pairing more and I ended feeling a satisfying 'I want to read more about these two.' I mean, at the end of things, you have to bring the heat, no? And the first blowjob was a bit tepid, I thought. And a bit out of nowhere.

But all in all, thumbs up! Let's see what happens next.
