Book Review: Immortal Oath (Vampire Mates) By Corinne O'Flynn

Immortal Oath - Corinne O'Flynn, Midnight Coven

 

Unfortunately, I disliked this book very much. I wouldn't recommend it. I've been having a lukewarm reaction to most of the books from the Vampire Brides/Vampire Mates "seasons" by the Midnight Coven. As much as I love the idea of it this one, in particular, didn't work for me. This one made all those books seem amazing in comparison, which is a hard feat in and of its self.

 

Penelope was very wishy-washy. She started off being set in her ways but would change her mind within a few pages. It didn't make sense for the character the author was trying to create. If she wanted to have a strong female who had her own thoughts and lead the story herself, she started off on the right track but took a strong left somewhere along the way and never looked back.

 

Harry was an okay guy. He respected her decisions and went along with whatever she wanted to do even if he disagreed with her and tried to convince her otherwise.

 

This story started off great but became a rushed blob of a plot where skipping around in time to make things happen even faster quickly became the norm. The problems almost solved themselves at one point. If I considered the other books in this "series" fast this novel was set at lightning speed. 

 

My Favorite Quotes:
