Edge of Passion by Tina
Folsom
(Cloak Warriors #1)
ARC provided by
NetGalley
Rating: 3 Stars
Tina Folsom came highly
recommended as an author. So when I received Edge of Passion from NetGalley, I
turned on my Kindle and dove into the story.
Who wouldn’t—the blurb screams interesting:
Cloak Warriors have been
protecting humans from demons for centuries. So when demons discover a way of
seducing humans to their side, they jump on the opportunity. Aiden and his
fellow Cloak Warriors learn of this new threat to humanity. In order to save
mankind, they must protect the one scientist that could unknowingly hand the
demons the weapon they’ve been searching for.
Aiden is a strong alpha
male, emotionally hampered by a traumatic incident early in his life. His
strong, sometimes testosterone laden character is offset by his loyalty and
determination to do the right thing.
Leila is a scientist
that’s discovered a way to cure Alzheimer’s. Talk about smarts! Once she
realizes Demons are real and they’re after her research, she understands how
dangerous her discovery would be in their evil hands. Leila is faced with a
horrific moral decision. (Don’t worry, she has the moral character to make the right decision.)
Despite the interesting
plot and mostly likeable characters, for me, this book could have been better.
The characters’ emotions whipsawed often and without much explanation. Also, I
understood Aiden’s baggage, but it didn’t make me like him any better when he
was being a disrespectful jerk.
Overall, the premise for
Edge of Passion was great. I just didn’t connect with the characters as much as
I’d have liked. Will I read more of Ms Folsom’s work? Absolutely.
Her next book might knock my socks off!
