The Beta: Part Two

Honestly the introduction of Corso's pack into Devon's I did not like at all. The way it happened, Talia's sudden epiphany about being able to give Corso everything she wanted for him when she left I found to be unrealistic, and I did not like the fact that it was brushed over within like 2 chapters, especially considering Talia's VERY strong negative reaction to it. Not to mention, 9 people in one pack is a lot to keep track of, my brain is hurting.

I did warm up to Corso's pack eventually, especially Reid, but it still wasn't enough for me to forgive their earlier mistakes. They have history with Talia and they were able to easily slip into their relationship from before but we the readers did not get to experience the past so it leaves those relationships, at least to me, feeling rushed and disingenuous.

There was also a decline in plot. The first book was fleshing out relationships between the pack members until the last 20% where things really amped up and I was expecting much more action and angst, I wanted more groveling between the FMC and MMC's but unfortunately I was left disappointed. Instead I got 80% of smut and only about 20% plot. I have a feeling book 3 is going to progress much like book 2 did but I am hoping for more plot.
