"I will never leave you. I will never let you go. I will not let you fall, or fail. I will always come for you if you leave, always find you if you're lost. Always."

THE STORY: In STORM'S HEART, Rune Ainissesthai, a Wyr Gryphon, promised to do a task for the ancient vampire, Carling Severan, in exchange for Carling saving the life of Rune's friend. Now Rune has come to repay his debt. Rune discovers that Carling is dying. In the process of the two trying to save her life, they discover that history and time are changeable and that they may need to alter the past to give Carling a future.

OPINION: I really enjoyed this book because of the intense emotional focus of the story. Rune and Carling have a really interesting story that reveals itself throughout the book. I recommend not reading the spoilers because much of the enjoyment of the story is the mystery of what is happening. Rune is protective and funny and also sweet in his own special way. Carling is a strong woman and her journey is a fascinating one. This book has one of the better developed romances of the series.

WORTH MENTIONING: There are political intrigues in this book that are beginning to spin out and are clearly not meant to be resolved in one book but rather begin an overarching story that spans the series.

FINAL DECISION: I really liked this book because of the strong characters of Rune and Carling. This is a book that is really focused on the characters and romance rather than the political intrigues.

CONNECTED BOOKS: SERPENT'S KISS is the third novel in the Elder Races series. This book can be read as a standalone although there is are overlapping characters and events.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4.25 stars.

Serpent Kiss A Novel of the Elder Races Thea Harrison 9780425244401 Books Reviews

I wanted to love this book. I really did. I loved Rune in Dragon Bound and Storm’s Heart. He epitomized what an alpha male should be. Physically and mentally strong, compassionate, observant, sexy and loyal. And then there is Carling. While she didn’t have the spunk that Tricks did in Storm’s Heart, there was just something about her that had me wondering what the hell was going on with her because she just seemed so detached from everything. Not necessarily oblivious, just not really interested. So to find out that they would collide promised to be, if not fun, interesting, and it was.

I loved the bantering between Rune and Carling and how he got to her to care about living again instead of sitting back and waiting for the disease to take her over. And as they worked to try to find the cure for the disease I could see and feel the chemistry growing between them, not only physically but intellectually and emotionally. They complemented each other in every way and I was totally rooting for them to get their HEA. And the whole thing with Carling ‘disappearing’ and how that tied in to her disease was really interesting, especially with how Rune could go with her. And then IT happened.

****Slightly Spoilerish***
The IT in question was the whole Rune/Dragos thing. Now to make it clear, I have no problem with Rune mating with Carling, in fact I’m all for it. I also knew that with them mating Rune would more than likely have to do what Tiago did in Storm’s Heart. My issue was with how it happened. Regardless of how wonky the mating thing makes Wyr, it just sent me into a WTF spin because I never would have expected it to come from Rune. It was just so out of character that I did an actual replay of his actions up to that point and realized just what had been happening. Is Dragos blameless in it all? No, but I can’t blame him at all for his reaction when faced with what was going on. And while this situation did make me lose some interest in Rune and Carling, I do have to give Ms Harrison props for it because I definitely didn’t see that coming and I do love it when an author can drive me to start swearing at their book.
I enjoyed her first book in this series. The second book was okay. This book was flat out boring. Page after page describing the environment, the rooms, the clothing, their physical appearance, etc. Then there were even more pages describing their feelings for each other. And not just one time for each character, but over and over. I skipped PAGES of script and there would still be more. I must admit I did not finish this book, but by chapter 6 or 7 there was still no action. Just more feelings. I feel like the author just had one good story, then ran out.
I will admit that her writing ability is very good, her script flows smoothly. There's just not any story to be told.
