Untamed Chapter 27
Why do fledglings get their powers before they’re mature? Unlike the rest of vampiric puberty, the extra powers aren’t something that’s inevitable. Nyx has to give them to someone, right? Which means she has to sit down, pick a moron … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 26
This is what happens when I set a future post. I pick the wrong date, because it’s late in the morning, and I don’t notice it didn’t go up. Anywho, here’s the post. Why is telling, not showing, a bad … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 25
At least we now have a time line for this book. As Zoey mentioned the upcoming ritual, I have to figure there will be at least two more chapters for day two. The rest will be day three except maybe … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 24
So, I have to ask, what exactly is the point of Kalona? It’s just that he sounds like a big bad/satan character and those usually have a point. Sometimes, it’s to tie the character’s story into something bigger than themselves … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 23
Look, yet another chapter for day two. It’s okay to advance the time frame, PCK, really. No one will complain if Zoey gets to her second year of vampire school before book forty. I’m not in marketing or anything but … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 22
Unintended consequences are always amusing to me, especially in fiction. Take PCK’s herbal magic, for example. Not just the silliness of what happens when a brush fire burns a bunch of the wrong things at the same time? Do angry … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 21
So here we are, over twenty chapters in and we’re fast approaching a finish. I say finish because PCK’s books do not reach a conclusion, they simply end. In spite of how far along we are it’s still only the … Continue reading

And so it begins. Our setting is Sacramento, California and our girl, Celia, and her sisters are in trouble y’all. She’s forced the four of them into a vampire court. But why? I’m going to assume they forgot to vampire proof their trash cans … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 20
Part of what makes this story so intolerable is the lack of consequences for anything, at least not as it applies to Zoey. This latest moment between her and Erik is just more evidence of the fact. Look, it doesn’t … Continue reading

Untamed Chapter 19
At what point does a book no longer qualify as a story? I’ve been asking myself that a lot lately with how badly paced this one is. It has a lot of the same elements as a real book, a … Continue reading
