Información de la obraDeadly Addiction por Kristine Cayne
Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. Deadly Addiction, written by Kristine Cayne, is an outstanding novel earning a solid 5 out of 5 stars. Before reading Cayne’s Deadly Vices series, I had never read an actual romantic thriller/mystery. I had read plenty of romances with a slight plot twist to keep things interesting and keep the novel from revolving around love, sex, and “soul mates”. Never have I read romance novels written with the talent and skill that Cayne possesses. First off, I need to say that the characters are brilliant. Cayne gives the opportunity to get to know the characters through many different sets of eyes, as the story is told through many different viewpoints. Typically, this isn’t something I am a fan of; however, she pulls it off without creating confusion. Each character is unique and has many different layers, creating believable individuals who stir the most basic of human emotions. Rémi Whitedeer and Alyssa Morgan were by far my favorite characters. I loved them individually – their struggles and inner-demons, as well as their triumphs and compassion. I also love the way the two played off each other. The way that Cayne told each character’s back-story a little bit at a time, rather than all at once in the beginning of the novel or upon introduction was a refreshing change. It left a slight air of mystery about the characters and helped them to feel more life-like. The final aspect of Deadly Addiction that I want to mention is, honestly, just how addicting this novel is! Much like it’s predecessor (which I was thrilled to find Addiction wasn’t a literal sequel to Obsession), Addiction is a fast paced, romance and action packed novel; however, not to the point of being over-whelming. It’s attention grabbing and once it has your attention it doesn’t let go until the final pages. While the action and suspense is definitely there and there are your standard lulls in the adrenaline and the romance also helps to break up the thrill seeking, adrenaline-rushing. These lulls help the novel to find that perfect medium between “nail-biting suspense/mystery” and “sappy sex-driven romance” novel. What you find in the end, is sheer perfection and I’m not quite sure how I’m going to make it until the next novel comes out. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

A proud people. A nation divided. Rémi Whitedeer, police officer turned substance-abuse counselor, dreams of restoring order to his tribe. Violence and crime are rampant throughout the unpoliced Iroquois reserve, and a civil war is brewing between the Guardians, a militant traditionalist group, and other tribal factions. As the mixed-race cousin of the Guardians’ leader, Rémi is caught in a no-man’s land—several groups lay claim to him, but all want him to deny his white blood. A maverick cop on an anti-drug crusade. When she infiltrated the Vipers to take down the leader of the outlaw biker gang responsible for her brother’s death, police sergeant Alyssa Morgan got her man. But her superiors think she went too far. Her disregard for protocol and her ends-justify-the-means ethics have branded her an unreliable maverick. To salvage her career, she accepts an assignment to set up a squad of native provincial officers on a reserve. A radical sovereigntist bent on freeing a nation. Decades of government oppression threaten the existence of the Iroquois Nation. But one man, Chaz Whitedeer, is determined to save his people no matter what the price, even if it means delving into the shadowy world of organized crime. When Rémi and Alyssa uncover the Guardians’ drug-fueled scheme to fund their fight for true autonomy—a scheme involving the Vipers—Rémi must choose between loyalty to family and tribe or his growing love for Alyssa. Can Rémi and Alyssa leave everything behind—even their very identities—for a future together? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Deadly Addiction/Deadly Vices Book 2 by Kristine Cayne is gritty, gripping and unpredictable, all qualities I enjoy in a good novel. It was refreshing that I couldn’t predict what would happen next and even when I did, I was wrong and pleasantly surprised. The insight into Iroquois culture was interesting and enlightening. The various subplots combined to make an amazing story. The characters are well developed and have interesting lives. Alyssa is a memorable character who is beautiful and strong. There are many layers to her personality and as each one is revealed it gets more and more intriguing. Who would have imagined that her boyfriend while undercover on another case would reappear in her current case? While appearing to be the worst kind of human, he also shows a human side that I couldn’t help rooting for and hoping he could change his life somehow. Seeing the hard side as well as the human side of Alyssa’s character allows the reader to really connect with her. Rémi is just beautiful, inside and out, and I did feel empathy for him in having to make the choice between family and love. Their relationship is not without problems but they stand strong, bolstered by their love. This story is great and while I hadn’t read the first novel before reading the second, I will be purchasing the first and last novel in the series. Deadly Addiction/Deadly Vices Book 2 features good writing, a riveting story and realistic, remarkable characters.
