Nightshade Series

So I'm going to talk about the Nightshade series. This series consists of Nightshade, Wolfsbane, and Bloodrose. I really liked this series but, I was disappointed in the end. I have to give it to the author though this was a very different way of ending the series. I think this is the reason I was so disappointed in it. She took a risk and in my opinion failed. I guess I like everyone else in the fact that I like it when a book ends the way I want it to. I have read other reviews on this book and have noticed that a lot people complained about the way the character Shay was written saying that he came across as weak. I have to disagree here. I like the fact that she wrote him as the kind on man that is not afraid of his feelings and expressing them. Most male characters are written like Ren; Strong, a leader, protector, an Alpha. We need to see more characters like Shay. Someone not afraid to let a woman lead. In the end I noticed Ren's softer side coming out and I would have like to have seen that side of him come out a bit sooner. Also I found some parts dry.

Over all I would give this series an 8stars

The reasons?? First and foremost the ending. Two, because I would have like Ren's softer side out sooner. And lastly because I found it dry at times. especially in book 2.

I would recommend this series to a friend for more than one reason. I let you know what those reasons are when I do my review of the spin off series to the Nightshade series. It is with this series I have a lot more to say.
