Consumed - Rebecca Zanetti *The publisher gave me a free copy of this book in exchange for a review*

This is the first book in this series I’ve read and to be honest I should have read the others first before attempting this one. Plot wise for this book I was ok, I mostly knew what was happening. It was the mythology and the history that I struggled to understand. Eventually it was fine but it took me a while to get used to what was going on and that distracted me quite a bit.

What didn’t help me was the way the narrative jumped from one character to another. I struggled to keep up with who was telling the story and what was going on because of it.

I enjoyed the characters, most of them were good. A couple of them stood out from the crowd (looking at you king vampire.) I loved Katie and the never-ending courage and strength she seemed to have. I liked the romance between her and Jordan but was put off by the repetitiveness of the sex. There are a lot of sex scenes in this book and I wanted a little more diversity.

I will check out the first books in the series to see if I prefer them…and for the vampire king.
