When Everet is called in to a club to deal with an avian
shifter that has brought their race into disrepute, it is hardly surprising to
him that it’s a Magpie causing all the issues. Upon seeing the amount of suffering the young
shifter has already been put through as “punishment”, he decides bringing him
back to the nest to face the judgement of the Elders.
The AHole that is head of the Nest decides that, as Magpies
cannot change their thieving and whoring ways, Kane is to be sentenced to the
cages. Unable to watch his charge suffer such a punishment, Everet asks to be
made responsible for Kane. This means that the Raven would be responsible for
helping the Magpie to recuperate and also to take any punishments that he would
reap whilst at the Nest. The Elders agree but maybe Everet has bitten off more
than he can chew?
Although undoubtedly attracted to Kane, Everet must use his
legendary restraint to resist the man who is willing to use sex as the means to
getting his own way. Trying to stop him using drugs, prostituting himself and
thieving will take all his skill....being distracted is not an option. But can
he really take such a tricky slave on and keep his heart safe? And are the rest
of the Nest correct? Can a magpie ever really change?
I have been waiting for an age for this book. Was it as good
as Duck!? It was a completely different type of book and I loved it but no, it
didn’t have that fantasy feel that Duck! had. It is set after Duck! (Reading it
first would be recommended) and features scenes with Ori and Reynard that gave
me a really lovely warm feeling inside.
This book lacked the fairytale quality that Duck! had. The
characters were full of hard edges and I enjoyed reading about them because of
it. Everet is a good looking Raven who has been promoted to head of security
because of his control and sense of justice. He doesn’t believe in over punishment,
hates avian’s using the hierarchy as an excuse to be cruel to the lower classes
and believes in fairness. He is the perfect flipside to the out of control Kane
but I wanted him to bend slightly, to meet Kane in the middle. He had such
innovative boundaries that I instantly fell in love with him; the rule where
the bedroom was only for sex, not an arena to punish any crimes was lovely
because it showed Kane that he would cherish and protect him even if he made a
mistake. I loved the theme of this book was lovely; no matter how much people
screw up in life, people still deserve to be loved and cherished. Well, if they
don’t do anything worth hard jail time for anyway! The scene where he wouldn’t let them punish
Kane..... *swoon*
Kane was a brat. Kane was not really a sub because he didn’t
want to submit; he wanted to do anything to get his own way. Kane had been
mistreated, abused and abandoned his entire life. He did not know what to do
with Everet and his protection because he had never had it. He was used to
having to figure out a way to manipulate people into the things that he wanted
and being a magpie these were generally shiny things. I loved that the drug he
was hooked on was shiny and glittery too....it fit so well! Kane was not one
for lip service and he kept waiting for all that Everet had told him to be a
lie; he literally had to be shown that Everet was a man of his word in a very
painful way before he believed it. I loved it.
There is MM sex because it’s a MM BDSM book. I didn’t think
there was much S/M but there was definitely Dominance. I’d love to read more
about these two because I feel there is so much more to come, so much more
angst to follow. I hope there is more from this series as I’ve loved both books
so far!
An angsty, sexy paranormal read that left me wanting more. I
loved the characters, loved the plot and adored the writing. If you like MM,
like PNR and liked Duck! READ THIS!!
