A review by hemloc
Brazen by Angilram, Kelley Armstrong

5.0

Five reasons to read Brazen:

1) Malcolm Danvers is an excellent villain. He's smart, competent, and unbelievably cruel. He left a big impression in Men of the Otherworld, and his reappearance in Thirteen was one of the biggest and greatest plot twists in the book.

2) This is a new side of Nick, the calm, professional part of his personality that has been slowly building itself up since Broken.

3) I love Vanessa. She's a strong character and her embarrassing moments are very endearing.

4) The story is action-packed. There are a lot of players involved, but the plot is very clean. There are no confusing moments or parts that got muddled.

5) Seeing Nick take on a parent role with Noah and Reese is one of my favourite things because he's great at it and he does it his own way.

One drawback to Brazen:

1) The romance felt a little flat, which I wouldn't have thought possible because this is a Nick story. I can see how the characters would have chemistry and I love the idea of them together, but that just didn't translate into the plot.
