MATING NEEDS by Milly Taiden is the second book in the
A.L.F.A.
book series. While this is the second book in
this series, it can be read as a standalone novel. I did
not read the first book in this series before I read this
one. I did find this to be a fast read and finished it in
one sitting. The overall story is an interesting one but
did not hold up by the end of the book.
At the beginning,
it was a promising read with a story that had a good plot
and characters that were prefect to carry it out. I just
feel that when I got to the middle of the novel, I lost
interest and the ending disappointed me. This would be a
great read if the writing meshed the setting, characters,
plot, and details together more. The characters are easy
to love, relate to, and seem realistic in many ways. They
are well rounded and have a depth to them that the story
needs.
The setting is different but works. The plot or
story line just does not hold up. MATING NEEDS needs more
drama,
depth, and details. The chemistry between the characters
is lacking the heat that is needed to make this story
over the top. I feel like it just fell flat. I really
wanted to love MATING NEEDS but feel it is really missing
that extra something that could make it great. I do plan
to read the first book (ELEMENTAL
MATING) in hopes that it is a better read.
