And not Addison's best."Startling in its brutality, the Alpha's Claim series is a sensual masterpiece which glorifies in its own unflinching depiction of the most base of human nature." - Zoe Blake, USA Today bestselling author No one will take what's his. So, while I think it's great writing, I feel it is unfinished. It's a standalone with no indication the story will continue. I didn't think it was and so, when the book ended so abruptly with no sense of redemption on the horizon, I went back and read the summary.

SWALLOW IT DOWN felt like a first installment.

And that's what matters most to the reader. BUT it gave all the characters what they wanted and what they needed. The Bound series did this even though it wasn't a perfect ending all neat and tidy wrapped up in a bow. The thing is: if this is the tone you set for your book, I believe you are obligated to follow through to redemption of some kind. The hope: we get our humanity back in a few generations when we have figured all this out. The understanding that the ideology of basic humanity has to be suspended post-apocalypse for the sake of instituting a system of order and to control the chaos. That said, and after listening all the way through following the recording fix: The writing is great, all though it induces the same sense of woe that the the Bound series introduces with its first book. I wish more of her work would be adapted for audio. Let me just say I generally LOVE Addison Cain.
