Jacob by Jacquelyn Frank6/12/2023 The problem for me is that the previous books presented the demons and their wives as being kindhearted and empathetic, but in the early chapters of this book, a number of them are, instead, mean-spirited and uncaring. Their treatment of the child, Leah, in particular is unforgivably cold and heartless. After the early traumatic event, the people we met in previous books- the demons and their wives- react to the catastrophe in ways that are extremely disappointing. The opening chapters in this book contain events so awful that I came close to putting the book down and not finishing it. The romantic story is unusual for this series in that it is not really the primary focus, but more of a secondary plot, with the Ruth-Nicodemus story line being the prominent one. The romance plays out in the usual manner, with lots of angst and second guessing before an eventual HEA. Then, we follow Adam's romantic journey as he hooks up with the vampire, Jasmine, Damien's second in command. In this book, we meet a new character from Jacob's past (Adam, a water demon), who shows up unexpectedly at just the right time to save some lives.
