Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night (The Immortals After Dark, Book 3)
Date undefinedThere's a lot of adventure going on and I like it. I was surprised by a few things that happened, poor Bowen.

Date undefined...and I tried. For almost three weeks. There were a few paragraphs here and there that got me going, but this story never pulled me in. It's hard to pinpoint what it was that didn't compel me to read Wicked Deeds. In fact, I picked up Dark Needs (the best in this series,imo) intending to just scan through it and found myself reading it in two nights--for the second time--because I needed a break from Wicked.
I never got a strong sense that this couple liked each other or fell in love with each other in a gradual, believable way. I think the fact that Bowen wasn't convinced Mari was his mate until late in the book, and even then it didn't have an epic tone kind of left me lukewarm.
Somehow the characters and the coupling felt flat compared to Hunger Like No Other and Dark Needs. I wanted to like this book but it left me indifferent. And I'm probably in the minority, but I find Nix a bit cartoonish at times.

Date undefinedI was very disappointed with this one. There was nothing that really kept me from putting it down and I got annoyed and frustrated with Bowe and Mari's relationship. For over 3/4 of the book there was nothing but childish fighting. This is supposed to be a romance book but I'm not feeling any of it. There are no changes in plot and it drags on and on. As soon as I start to have some hope that a relationship is actually going to start between the two something happens to bring them back to zero. It bounces back and forth like this THE WHOLE BOOK! UGH! It also bothered me that Bowe seemed to have to do all the changing to have Mari, while she did nothing. It wasn't fair to him or the reader. Mari really annoyed me. And Bowe just tolerated her. She was one of those selfish, annoying female leads (there's nothing heroine about her).
I had to force myself to thumb through the last few chapters to see if anything would happen but...nope.
Also, having read Cade's book before this one, I am very disappointed that I didn't get to experience not one "yeah?" from him. Conrad and Cade were wonderful. Bowe was whipped and Mari was, literally, a witch.
