My booklove
Absolutely.
The Benedict Brothers don't stop and the Savant world still has a surprise up it's sleeve. I can't tell how sweet every single Joss Stirling book tastes. As if a warm chocolate cake with whipped cream is put on my plate. Enticing.
Among several Savant skills I reckon Misty's truth-telling ability the most hilarious one. She can't enter a room without stirring some trouble and making others spit the plain truth that people try so hard to hide from their surroundings. It couldn't explain better that sometimes it's better to leave our loved ones in the darkness about one thing or two. Peace doesn't always come from truth. Message of the story?
Lie.
Lie.
Second star on the right and straight on till morning.
Misty and Alex must wonder what trickster god was in command of fate when it turns out they're each mother's soulfinder. It doesn't look like they have anything in common. Still. Persuasion and telling truth proves to be a knockout combination making the world off it's hinge. Even if Alex takes his time with realising it, acting like a total idiot. But when he does a pretty sparkling firework fades the light of the stars of his conventional universe. This soulfinder thing is quite magical not in a Hogwart style but more down-to-earth–I wish it was real then we wouldn't be stuck up in dead ends of relationships. We would just find ourselves in Cloud Nine all at once. What a convenience.
"You infuriate and attract me in equal parts. Your every kiss cast its spell."
It wouldn't be a Benedicts novel if someone wasn't abducted. Mainly the hell-bent heroine finds herself in a pile of gunk at which point an army of Savant guys are busy operating a rescue mission. This time it's Misty's turn. She's kidnapped by a psychopath savant "saving Alex from the life sentence of sticking to his soulfinder." One touch and she's silenced forever. Just as I'm on the verge of panicing she's brought back to life froom the green pastures of afterlife by following the chain links of the strong bond that connect the two them. Fortunately it doesn't a waking-from-the-dead kiss but the hard-rock connection that brings her back to Alex's wellcoming arms. Sleeping Beauty got a good beating. No hard feelings.
After the book
Sweet after-taste of a harmonious relationship. I've counted on the predictable simultaneously heart-warming events of unfolding. Flat-out cute ;)
P.S: Angel Dares is on the top of my TBR pile. Time to buckle down to it.
