Sombras al amanecer (On a Wicked Dawn) Book

So, so awful. After the amazingness of On a Wild Night, this was so incredibly bad. I'm not sure who I hated more, Luc or Amelia.

Amelia was so completely opposite of her sister that I found it hard to believe they were twins, and that she was the same person that was in the previous book. And Luc was a detestable "hero". He was awful to Amelia throughout most of the book. I would honestly consider some of his behavior towards her emotionally abusive. And it killed me every time she allowed it to happen.

The "mystery" thrown into this one felt the most disjointed of all the Cynster books to date and completely seemed like something the author threw in after the fact. It most definitely did not add anything to the story. The resolution of one of the main conflicts of the book occurred within the span of a few paragraphs. "Oh, I've lied to you this whole time, but now you will not only forgive me but make it seem as though it was all your fault." "Oh yes my love, it has to be my fault, after all you're so perfect and I'm but a lowly female." "Good, now get naked and let me have more sex with you."

The sex was definitely plentiful, but so, so, boring. No matter what horrible thing Luc said to her or how awful he made her feel about things, all it took was one stab of his tongue into her cavernous honeypot of a mouth and she opened her legs to him and all was forgiven. I've had some good sex in my life, but no man would ever get away with treating me the way he treats her by simply giving me an orgasm or two.

I skimmed a good 50% of this book and from reading other reviews, I'm apparently not missing anything.
