goodreads...
Adriana can’t decide which is harder- living in
post-Katrina New Orleans or living with two immortal brothers. Ana and Hayden
are finally together but Hayden’s brother Luke is trying to come between them…
and he has never been known to play fair. Ana is still attempting to cling to
her normal life despite psychic visions taking over her dreams. With Mardi Gras
season approaching and a vision of a murder, Ana will find out if she can
really change the future or if she’s just upsetting a very delicate balance.
What she could never predict was just how far Luke would go to satisfy his
obsession…
My take...
When I first finished HURRICANE I was instantly
wanting to read AFTERMATH. And it seemed like forever before AFTERMATH would be
released. I had to know where Ana's heart was. Did she really love Hayden like
she claimed? Or was there some hidden feelings aching to get out for Luke? And
let me tell you...we don't get any answers in this one. At least to me, I felt
her feelings were all over the place; so hot and cold. I seriously got motion
sickness watching her emotions jump around throughout the story. I will say
though, that I believe this happened for a reason. When you read the story you
will start to understand why her life is spiraling around like a tornado. Her
emotions, her feelings...they are a massive energy about ready to burst at any
given second for a very important reason.
So I mentioned that her emotions were all over
the place? Well to me it seemed the story was too at times. Well, maybe not so
much all over the place...just a lot happens. Like almost too much. In just a
short period of time that the book takes place we are thrown from one scene to
another with barely enough time to catch our breaths and take in what just
happened. But I will say it was enough to keep me on my toes and not put this
book down until I was finished. I absolutely inhaled it. I had to know where
Duncan was taking this series and nothing was getting in the way of me
finishing this book.
Unfortunately, for the answers we did get...many
more questions were presented. But that’s okay...Duncan knows what she was
doing. She leaves the reader with that same itch, that same want for book 3
like she did for book 2. This story is straight up crack. I need to know what
will happen next. So, I beg of you Duncan...don't keep us waiting for our next
fix. Pretty please?
Be warned wary readers of love triangles...there is
most definitely one in this book. I know some of you don't like them...but me?
I love them. Well I love them if the triangle is equal on all sides. You know,
where the girl isn’t 100% certain she wants one of the guys…she could possibly
have feelings for both? That is how this one is. That is where the hot-and-cold-feelings-that-are-all-over-the-place
come in to play. You really truly don't know what Ana wants and it is exciting
to see who she will choose...if she chooses.
If you have read HURRICANE AND TEMPEST you know
you have to read this one. Right? Absolutely. It's a fact. But if you haven't
taken the time to pick up this series, do it now. You are most definitely
missing out.
