The Convergence Theory by Lia Cooper
4.0
Strong sequel to the first book,fewer editing errors, a few things I'd like to see handled differently.
WHAT I LIKED
-------------
* Cooper continues to be a master at showing the reader what's happening emotionally in the story. She brought home the consequences of separated mates with some brutal Ethan scenes that could never have been portrayed through descriptive language.
* Ethan and Pat's relationship continues to develop at a more realistic pace than many other paranormal romance novels. Ethan needs to change his whole perspective on relationships for things to work, and Cooper doesn't cheapen it by having it happen overnight.
* Cooper writes exciting action - the final battle was creepy. It came as close as I've ever experienced to having a literary jump scare.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
-----------------
* Ethan and Pat are separated for the first 50% of the book. While this part of the book is full of strong character development, it's hard to read a romance where the main characters are separated for so long. Even if they'd just crossed paths a handful of times, had some awkward conversations, etc., it would have helped.
If you liked the first book, I think you'll like the second. Be patient through the first half, if you are eager to see what happens between Ethan and Pat. Everything in that part of the book is important for the characters - you won't want to rush it.
